Well, Ventura said he doesn't want to pitch again. Waste of a good inning.

What was his velo? I didn't see the game/highlights.

The couple of pitches I seen, he was in the upper 60's-low 70's...

maybe he only has a change-up....

A remarkable athelete....too bad he was cut down by injuries

This got me thinking. How good were his numbers in both baseball and football.

Neither one by themselves was very impressive, but the simple fact that he had the ability to play both sports... well, let's just say it's pretty rare. The hip injury definitely kept him from reaching his full potential. Too bad.
