It wasn't that long ago
All this talk about 20 year umps and stuff makes me feel old.
We should all remember the Tommy Johns and Jim Kaats of the world. They were able to extend their career several years with the one step delivery.
Undoubtably it was much better on the arm because they did it for several years at the end of their careers.
I'm sure there were others but they are two that come to mind who were quite noteworthy.
To the umpires that called the balks, please show me the rule that says this is contrary. I don't see it in FED, OBR, or NAPBL etc, they all say the same things as stated above.
Thanks
David
