Fan who threw 96 mph at speed pitch booth signs with A's (link) -- JMHoo 08/02/2019 11:34AM

That’s pretty cool...I wonder though... -- WAYoVerraTed 08/02/2019 5:10PM

Zero miles on the arm too unlike guys that grow up playing year round -- HooStu 08/02/2019 8:08PM

And no bad habits to break down. -- WAYoVerraTed 08/02/2019 8:10PM

Car accident, surgery, throw 96? They already did that one -- HooStu 08/02/2019 8:37PM

Read Billy Wagner's Wiki. Broke his right arm and went to the Left. ** -- jdubforwahoowa 08/04/2019 08:22AM

Just what you do in Tazewell -- HooStu 08/04/2019 3:56PM

96mph = dime a dz these days; Besides he was taking a running start ** -- Wahoo Ron 08/02/2019 1:55PM

Running start offset by no mound. It was very impressive ** -- Joe Pro 08/04/2019 02:09AM

I think it’s a publicity stunt. -- BocaHoo91 08/02/2019 8:55PM

I think it's a zero-risk shot -- 007 Hoo 08/02/2019 10:23PM

Yeah, that too ** -- BocaHoo91 08/03/2019 07:14AM

Uhhh... -- SchmHoo 08/02/2019 7:55PM

Sidd still my favorite. No one has matched his fastball yet. ** -- JACK 08/02/2019 6:53PM

Guy was a once-in-a-lifetime talent. Head case, tho.' Too bad for the Mets. ** -- WahooKnows 08/02/2019 4:15PM
