I Love the 90s!
BEFORE & AFTER
1973-1993
A major league pitcher toed the rubber for over 20 years, before retiring in 1993. Early in his career (before), he was considered a hard thrower and was paired up with another hard thrower (and future hall-of-famer) for many years. In his later years (after), he relied more on control and mixing speeds. It's been said of his fastball speed: he was "the guy who threw 90 in the 70s and 70 in the 90s."

..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

War is where the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

1973-1993
A major league pitcher toed the rubber for over 20 years, before retiring in 1993. Early in his career (before), he was considered a hard thrower and was paired up with another hard thrower (and future hall-of-famer) for many years. In his later years (after), he relied more on control and mixing speeds. It's been said of his fastball speed: he was "the guy who threw 90 in the 70s and 70 in the 90s."

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Sheesh, who DIDN'T he pitch for? He had a fairly long stretch with the Detroit Tigers. He was briefly a member of the Yankees toward the end of his career. That may have been his last team in fact, not sure though.

I Love the 90s!
BEFORE & AFTER
1973-1993
A major league pitcher toed the rubber for over 20 years, before retiring in 1993. Early in his career (before), he was considered a hard thrower and was paired up with another hard thrower (and future hall-of-famer) for many years. In his later years (after), he relied more on control and mixing speeds. It's been said of his fastball speed: he was "the guy who threw 90 in the 70s and 70 in the 90s."
Name the pitcher. (2 points) I'll guess Nolan Ryan, but I'm sure that's not right.
Name his hard-throwing teammate (and future hall-of-famer) during his early years. (2 points) I'll guess Nolan Ryan for this one. I think that might be right.
Name the team they played on together. (2 points) I'll just pick the team I remember Nolan playing for because I remember him in that uniform -- Astros.
Name one other team the subject pitcher played for. (2 points) Oh good grief. I'll just pick another team Nolan played for -- Angels.
