Spahn and Sain, then pray for rain...

Some of the young guys on here may not be familiar with that phrase, but it's Google-worthy, considering MSU baseball this season.

I guess for us it will be "First we'll use Hudson, then we'll use Sexton, then we'll use everyone else in the next 'un."


Apologies to 1948 Boston Post writer Gerald Hern.

Man, that is the greatest thing I've heard in along time. Kudos, sir. I'm absolutely using that.

And yes, I've heard the original.

Tip of the cap. Great reference & spot on for this team.

Thanks Cochise. Just crazy how we feel the need to throw 6 guys every Sunday.

 

[57stratdawg]

Yeah. Sexton has stepped his production up well. We have a hole on Sunday and in the bullpen though.

Tanana and Ryan, and two days of cryin'.

Frank Tanana! Great pull.

Tanana and Ryan both threw 100mph+ at the time. Wow.

From the Internet:
Tanana hurt his arm before the days of Tommy John surgery and lost all his velocity. In the prime of his career his fastball was 80 MPH! Crazy. Threw some nasty junk though.
He gave up dingers to both Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds.

Great reference, good memories.
