Andy Messersmith: He Changed Baseball Forever

Messersmith was one of the best pitchers of his era. His decision to severe ties with the MLB since his retirement is a story worth telling

Just a periodic reminder to the youngsters out there.

Notice how the winning team used only one pitcher for the entire nine innings, a phenomenon known as a complete game.

Not only did this happen regularly, it was actually the expectation that the starting pitcher would complete the game.
