This video popped up on my RUclips feed and I had to watch it… I was an NL fan back in the day so didn’t really appreciate AL baseball, but Jim Hunter was always something special. An oak tree on the mound, devastating pitches. That smile in the photo at the end of the perfect game says it all. God bless. 💕
Could you imagine his reaction to the new limp-wristed managers like Dave Roberts when they tell him we want you to start and give us four innings then we'll take you out even if you're throwing a shutout
From 1970-75, Catfish Hunter would average 21 wins per season. 129-63 during that span and he pitched 290 innings per season and struck out close to a thousand batters. He also 105 complete games in that six year span averaging 17 complete games per season.
My favorite pitcher #27 big A’s fan from 68 on through the dynasty
That’s my uncle right there! Thank you for these highlights! Amazing to see..
