He should be better than Adam Eaton and IIRC he throws a better two-seam fastball for groundouts, but with that being said...enjoy Anna Benson!"They put me in the Hall of Fame? They must really be scraping the bottom of the barrel!"

Are there any more Eppas out there ?
To Dalkowski 110:
Great quote from Eppa Rixey: We could use a few (actually a lot) more players today like Rixey, who are honest, who are not constant self-promoters, and whose Egos are not bigger than the state of Texas.
Of course there's Derek Jeter, who doesn't promote himself so much as he constantly promotes the Yankees and their chances of winning the next World Series - Much to the Disgust of Yankees-Haters, like Myself!

Thanks and I agree. My great grandfather saw Eppa really early in his career and either saw him throw a shutout or throw a complete game where he only gave up one run. Either way, he was impressed enough to keep following him. He followed his stats until his career was over. Even though I come from a tradition of first New York Giants and then New York Mets fans, we've always had a soft spot in our hearts for old Eppa Jeptha."They put me in the Hall of Fame?

"What's wrong with Anna Benson ?"
To ask this, you must have absolutely no taste in women whatsoever."They put me in the Hall of Fame? They must really be scraping the bottom of the barrel!"
