    He and Dick Allen were two guys that sportswriters didn't like.

    And both could put a serious hurt on a baseball.

    Yeah, I’m sure you’ve seen the replay of when the 2nd baseman was going to just tag Albert Belle as he ran by and complete the DP.
    That was not Albert’s plan!

    I always cringe on the Rose /Fosse collision in a all star game. Pete played to win, I will say that.

    Has to radar era so maybe Houston brought Ryan in for a first pitch, and if not him Randy Johnson

    Now if we are going President I would guess an athletic one such as Teddy R but that's before they could clock them.

    I was going to guess Ryan. Thought he threw one close to 90

    No on Ryan, he’s in 3rd place @ 85mph.
    And Johnson’s in 4th place @ 77mph.

    I remember Kapernick throwing one that shocked me so that's my guess.

    I don't think that it is Cesar Geronimo but if he did ever throw a first pitch I bet it would be very fast. An absolute cannon of an arm.

    Hint: Higher velocity leans towards later retirement.
