Grover Cleveland "Pete" Alexander

Ruth would write years later, “Just to see old Pete out there on the mound, with that cocky little undersize cap pulled down over one ear, chewing away at his tobacco and pitching baseballs as easy as pitching hay is enough to take the heart out of a fellow.”

“He made me want to throw my bat away when I went to the plate,” said Hall of Fame second baseman Johnny Evers.

At the end of his career, beat Murderers Row twice in the 1926 WS, including a relief appearance where he struck out Lazerri with bases loaded. The Cards beat the Yankees to win the WS.

Billy Wagner

His career 6.1 H/9 is the best H/9 in the history of Major League Baseball for a relief pitcher.

His career 1.01 WHIP ranks as the second best WHIP in the history of MLB for a relief pitcher; and it’s first all time for a lefty.

His career 2.39 ERA ranks as the third best ERA in the history of MLB for a relief pitcher; and it’s first all time for a lefty.

His 11.9 strikeouts per 9 innings pitched ratio (K/9) is the highest of any major league pitcher with at least 800 innings pitched.

Busy several days ahead....painting the house and prepping for my daughters graduation party.

The picks will be made...the write ups, likely not.

Rounding out the starting rotation is another power arm with incredible post season statistics.
