Pre-War Pitchers - Who reminds you of them today?

Chris Carpenter.

Aaron Harang.

Roy Halladay.

Roy Oswalt.

And after watching him Tuesday night, I'm editing to add CC Sabathia.

How dear to my heart was the old-fashioned hurler, who labored all day on the old village green. He did not resemble the up-to-date twirler who pitches four innings and ducks from the scene.

C.C. is a bit of a hippo.

Frank, that's one of my favorite baseball poems of all time -- the last stanza:

The old-fashioned pitcher,
The iron-armed pitcher,
The stout-hearted pitcher,
Who finished the game.
