Lines: 14 A little trivia here. On Friday the 13th of July, every Eastern division team (13 of them) in both leagues won!! Does anyone know if that is a common occurence? Also, to the guy who thinks Gooden cannot rely on his fastball and would turn into another Nolan Ryan. What is wrong with that? Ryan is an all-time great, a definite Hall of Famer. I particular like to watch fireballers come right at hitters, like Gossage, Ryan, and J.R. Richard when he was able to throw. I think its more of a challenge to hitters. One other thing, Ryan and Carlton have approx. the same number of K's, but isn't it true that Ryan has pitched ~1000 less innings than Carlton? Mike Vernick cornell!tesla!vernick
