He’s a bit before my time so had to read up on him. Sounds like he greatly influenced not just the split-finger fastball but also the role of the closer, being one of only eight to enter the Hall.
RIP, Bruce!
Damn this one stings.
I cant tell you how many 9th inning strikeout the side performances I had as an 8 year old mimicking Sutter in my backyard.
RIP LEGEND!
Damn. I played some ball with one of his sons. He was a great guy when I had the chance to meet him as a kid. Sucks to hear. Prayers for his family.
Too soon, too soon.
This sucks. I believe that his final balloon payment from his deferred contract was just paid back in July or so.
Ugh…. not even 70 years old. Seems like almost every day there’s someone famous that end up passing away to early. Heart breaking 😞. I got the chance to meet Bruce & Dale Murphy when I was kid. He was beyond kind. This one really hurts…
