    Who was the pitcher (righty) that would actually hop off the rubber when making his leg kick, then land and push off for the pitch? I remember him pitching in the '00 World Series, but not after.

    In softball that's called "Crow hopping" and is an illegal pitch. Talk about gain an advantage when a pitcher can stride out a few feet and "Re-plant" her pivot foot. The rule is that "The foot must maintain contact with the ground" Just in case you may have been interested.

    No it's not Guidry. I know exactly who your talking about, just can't think of his name right now. I will do some research.

    Oh, by the way, I am starting to get excited about this season too. I am really looking forward to seeing a change out there and not a coach that falls asleep in the corner of the dugout.

    I need to go buy a VCR. Do they still sell those things? I have that game on tape, just don't remeber if he pitched in it or not.
