Who am I missing?

El Duque.

You know what?

I was thinking about him because he's odd.

He's not an all-time great pitcher.

He is not a Hall of Famer.

But you talk about the delivery that you just can't forget.

I think he's definitely up there in his own box.

His career just didn't live up to it.

Yeah, yeah.

No, I think that's a good one because of the windup and the mystery of him.

He comes from Cuba.

He's got this cool nickname, like everything about him.

But yeah, before our time, Ron Guidry for a good four or five year period was the best pitcher in baseball.

And the legend goes, and I don't think it's legend because I think Ron Guidry told Joe and I this years ago, and I think it's well known by Yankee fans, so I'm not speaking out of turn here, that the famous two strike chant

came because of Ron Guidry outings.

So when you go to a baseball game, you'll see it on opening day, and there's two strikes on a hitter, and everybody stands up and starts clapping.

It's like a well-known baseball thing.

Of course, yeah, that's been going on forever.

It started with Ron Guidry, which tells you he's must-watch TV or must-attend game baseball because he caused you to stand up and start clapping with two strikes.
