Youth Bows

I love it when the old guys win! Jamie Moyer at age 49 just became the oldest pitcher to ever win a major league game. In doing so, he joins other pitchers like Whitey Ford, Warren Spahn, Satchel Paige, Hoyt Wilhelm and Greg Maddux, who were true pitchers. If you have a 98 mph fastball you can just rear back and throw and blow away hitters. Eventually, though, the hitters catch up with you and/or you lose a couple of mph off your fastball and your career dissipation light begins to blink. You then either adjust or go home. Guys like Moyer and the others above never had a fastball that came close to 90 so they had to out think the batters and maintain pinpoint control from the get go. Hats off to you Jamie Moyer and all the other pitchers who have made baseball such an interesting game all these years!
