    I just realized that all the pitchers mentioned so far: Ruth, Sabathia, Wells, Wood, Lolich and Forster, are lefties.

    So, for a righthander, I nominate Gaylord Perry.

    Terry Forster........I still have nightmares. Last game of the 1982 season. Why did Tommy bring in "Hoss" to face Joe Morgan? Home run for sure......Braves win NL West.
