jay behrensHre's a great post from the SABR-l list taken from Blyleven's site:
And here is Blyleven writing via his website the other day:
"I would love to have all those writers that didn't vote for me step
up to the plate and let me pitch to them. I would love to throw a high hard one inside. I would love to watch their knees buckle when I throw them my curveball. Yes, some of the writers might make contact but they will remember one thing after facing me. It's hard to hit from your butt!"
Another interesting note from the post was that only 8 pitchers since 1900 have thrown more innings than Byleven has. And if you look at the baseball-reference.com, the only HOF measure he doesn't pass is black ink.
And here's an interesting Koufax v Blyleven article
