The baseball gods
have a sense of humor.
How else can you explain
pitchers with names like
Homer Bailey, Jacob Wild,
Josh Outman, Jake Striker,
Jack Armstrong, Dave Heaverlow,
Jack Fanning, Scott Pitcher,
Grant Balfour, David Riske,
Eric Plunk, Homer Ball,
Kevin Slowey, Peter Balke,
Steve Junker and, or course,
Early Wynn?
