The entirely rich, white population of Vail thought he did it? WOW thats insightful.

Seriously, fuck this guy.

They called him “Freak” for a reason. His pitching style wasn’t built to last, a combination of yanking a gangly and circus-friendly body in weird contortions to get the ball over the plate. It couldn’t last forever.
