Though I like the thought that Sain was a great pitching coach, I think it’s unlikely he would be inducted as a pitching coach.

Allie Reynolds should be next up if any additional pitcher from that golden era (my favorite era) gets in. Allie was a winner and did anything needed to win championships.

Reynolds started and relieved in the same seasons and was one of the best in the league as a starter and a reliever within the same year, and the same World Series several times.

Sain was very good. Allie was great. Super chief!

Hi Tony

I second your comments regarding Allie Reynolds. He was a great starting Pitcher....and, Casey Stengel would also bring him in as a Relief pitcher.

Reynolds is 7 - 2 (W-L) in World Series play.... with 4 Saves.


I still remember the 1951 season when Allie pitched 2 no-hitters. After the 2nd no-hitter, Yankees broadcaster Mel Allen began calling Allie the “ Super Chief " .
