Pitch out of the stretch full#

I remember calling it out thinking he was doing it on purpose to trick hitters. At least 6-8' difference in where he set his glove on the two pitches when he worked from the stretch. Held glove at his belly for slider, at his belt for fastball. It hasnвЂ™t even been matched in my lifetime, the last time being 1960. There has still been only one larger margin in World Series history, all the way back in 1936 when the Yankees beat the Giants 18-4. For the Diamondbacks destroyed the Yankees, 15-2. From the third inning on, there was a stream of people getting up from their table, and going to the hostess desk to book a table for the following night, as it became increasingly obvious that, yes, there would be a Game 7. IвЂ™m not sure if they had the necessary authorization for that from MLB, but it did not stop us from booking a table and settling in nervously. In 2001, it was a thoroughly novel experience, and it closed in 2011 - not all that long before such things became widespread.ДЄnyway, they announced they were playing Game Six and (if necessary) Game Seven on their screen.

It was really an idea ahead of itвЂ™s time, being a вЂњdinner cinemaвЂќ before such things were common: you could order a full meal from your seat while watching a movie. That took us to FarrelliвЂ™s Cinema Supper Club, in the strip-mall on the corner of Thunderbird and Scottsdale Road. Short of buying tickets to the game - and, hey, IвЂ™d been in the country less than a year, so wasnвЂ™t sure if this whole baseball thing was going to stick - we wanted to see it on the biggest screen possible. If the Diamondbacks were going down, we were going to watch it happen.
