Spahnnie never won a big league game until he was 25 because of WW2, then won 343 of them.

I think you have to hand it to a 42-year-old fat man who can still get big league batters out for 7 innings. He’s not unique, but he’s rare.

Since the week has been about American heroes, Spahn is one of them. He was still pitching when I was a kid, in the years when elementary kids idolized baseball players.
