Back from vacation in St. Louis and killing time. Using that national pasttime program I punched in selected stats for Danny Darwin. I know that Smoltz is 10 times better than Darwin but...
Smoltz and Darwin are the only 2 pitchers in history to meet the following random criteria:
career numbers...
Era below 3.90
at least 165 wins
350 games started
50 complete games
8 shutouts
30 saves
2500 innings pitched
1930 strikeouts
allow less than 3000 hits
interesting eh...
if you take out the max hits allowed criteria and reduce the minimum saves to the magical number 7 and you get the following great pitchers:
christy mathewson
grover alexander
robin roberts
jim bunning
don drysdale
fergie jenkins
dennis eckersley
john smolts
curt schilling
danny darwin
who knew that darwin was such a great pitcher?
go bonham bullet!!
of course, if you punch in rusty greer's career numbers for hits, runs, rbi, hr, avg, obp and slugging, doubles, walks, stolen bases, triples you end up with
stan musial, rogers hornsby, babe ruth, charlie gehringer, goose goslin, lou gehrig, harry heilmann, jimmie foxx, arod, chipper jones, bill terry, larry walker, vlad guerrero, earl averill, todd helton, mickey cochran, hank greenberg, ken williams, hack wilson and rusty greer. 80% of which are or will be HOF.

I love random stat filters
You could become an intern for Jayson Stark. Of course, your filters would have to return a Philly.
Go Rice Owls!
gossamer = the next schwab?
After Fuentes blows a save and an Angels loss to the Indians:

Darren O’Day." - FirebatM3
LOL
Bonham Bullet...
…that was a great nickname. I also liked his other one just as much,,, Dr. Death.
A pretty nice career but TWO great nicknames.
I have no objection to man walking on the moon.
and he won
a fight with barry bonds

5th inning against the Tigers
Played Legion Ball with his brother Kevin
It was cooling being a Ranger fan and playing ball with a big leaguer’s brother.
Nolan Ryan versus Danny Darwin
Did they ever fight in the end?
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
