And for the 80's in the Midwest, you had these guys. No one was bigger than Mike Schmidt and Dale Murphy, and every wanna be pitcher tried the peek a boo wind up like Fernando.

I ran a little league and pony league program in the early 80's between college years, and every coach for about a year always had to "Check the pine tar" hahahaha.

In 1984 all the Cub fans went nuts over Ryno, and gave new hope to that franchise.

Meanwhile, Gooden burst on the scene and the Cardinals and Mets had a nice mini rivalry for a few years.

Then Rickey, Raines, Willie, and Vince brought the stolen base to prominence.

Throw in a few back flips by the Wizard of Oz, and this was baseball in the Midwest in the 80's
