This Former Harlem Globetrotter is the Only Player Born in Nebraska to Have a Kellogg's Baseball Card
One of the most intimidating pitchers of my childhood was a former Globetrotter. Watch a video and you will see how scary it must have felt to bat against Bob Gibson. Look for one from before 1969 when the mound was lowered to give batters a better chance.
The man started 34 games that season and gave up 38 earned runs. High hill, low hill, dead ball, live ball, I don't care: It ain't happening again for any pitcher with over 30 starts or 200 innings . . . though Greinke is doing quite well this year.
