I can't emphasize the phrase "inning for inning" enough.
Walter Johnson is probably the greatest pitcher of all time. And I would say the best peak for a pitcher belongs to Pedro Martinez.
He definitely sustained it better than most. Even though I never saw him at his best, if it wasn't for the drugs I bet Doc Gooden would have done the same, if not better than Pedro. Its just absurd what he used to do at such a young age.
I looked a bit more into Lou's baseball career and such and came across this;
Quote:
He captured the CCBL Championship as Sagamore's non-playing field boss in 1965 and he managed the Yarmouth Indians in 1967. His 1965 title-winner featured two future CCBL Hall of Famers - UConn shortstop Bob Schaefer and Providence College pitcher Noel Kinski. Lamoriello was a three-time All-Star who played third base, shortstop, catcher, left field and center field, compiled a career regular-season batting average of .325 and hit .372 in 12 career playoff games.
As a baseball player, Lamoriello was a highly-regarded catcher who could have signed with the San Francisco Giants when Tom Haller was their No. 1 catcher. However, he decided to pursue a career in coaching rather than a possible major league baseball career.
It's impressive how many people across how many sports Lou has touched in some way, or influenced. He's enshrined as a builder in the HHoF, but really his influence goes well beyond hockey, into other sports, as exemplified by this story about Bobby Valentine.

To add to it, apparently Lou had a notable role in designing the Sports Management program (particularly within the MBA program I believe) at Seton Hall. He was on the board that oversaw its creation I think (or at least that's what I was told). Not sure if he is still involved in any way. But the main thing I was told that he contributed was the cap on enrollment for the MBA program and to keep it at a small, maximum figure of students enrolled at any one time (about 25 or so). Keeps the degree more valuable/prestigious if it is that much more selective and only given out to a limited number of individuals. I'm going to take it way out of context and pretend Lou thinks I am special as I was admitted to the program almost 2 years ago. Yup. Lou loves me.
1 year contract, minor league deal w/ invite to ST......would love to see him make the rotation......ESPN said he was hanging around ST with the guys and was really missing playing
I dont think Andy has a good chance to make the team. I dont see him beating out Hughes, who they are determined to get back into the rotation. And if Andy doesnt make the rotation, I dont see him going to the bullpen or playing in the minors.
Sweeny Murti does not come across as a very nice person. Does anyone else in the New Jersey, NY area who listened to WFAN agree?
Today on Joe and Evan I believe he was complaining when they bought up the Pettite news originally when Jack Curry mentioned it because he didn't want to talk about something that might just be a rumor.
He was like how about we talk about something else that we know for sure is true or something of that ilk and then when one of them, I think Evan said (not too familiar with the show to be totally honest really as I am working when they are on but I caught it on break) I'm just amazed at the possibility of the rumor being true (turned out it was) and Sweeney was like when you guys want to talk about something else I will call back.
To be fair, I couldn't tell if he was joking or not because I kind of tuned in towards the end of the conversation, but it sure didn't sound like it and the few times he has been forced to take calls from callers, he doesn't come across that friendly either.
The fact that Cashman is worried it could be career ending worries me......I mean the guy really hasn't done **** but he's still a nice guy to have in the pen
