Had 255 complete games in his career about ten years worth these days for the whole major leagues Ah,for the life of a millionaire,say some,but just let me stay a trapper. Bill Nelson

What a shame. I would have loved to see some of the dominant pitchers of today with the advantage of a 5” higher mound. -Goofy-
