Led Tilly

Played for the Cubs in the 20’s.

What to do, with Larry Hughe?

Any relation to Jennifer Tilly?

nope

he didn’t throw “submarine” style….this guy is about to be dragging his knuckles on the dirt….

by cozmotaylor123 on Jan 20, 2009 9:41 PM CST reply actions  

nope, not going to happen unless he throws with his gloved hand...

oh wait a second – in this particular instance, I think he does. ;-)

btw – I don’t think that mound has recovered yet. Not too many do after a staredown/throwdown from a certain steely-eyed cold-blooded cerebral assassin…

Good one, SWL, you never disappoint me

with your posts. I always get a good chuckle out of your warped sense of humor.

That has to be

John Rocker after his loss of control, and as we can see, even being photo shopped as a Cub, he still cannot find the strike zone

I forget the name of the pitcher, but it must be the

2003 post season where that Marlin almost hit Ozzie in the dugout.

That's Duke "Scoop" LaLooney.

He pitched out of the bullpen for the Cubs in the early 80s. As you can see, he was born with a deformity of his right arm that made that limb appear like the cloven-hoofed leg of an elk.To compensate, he would “scoop” up the ball with his glove and fling it submarine-style toward home plate. Scoop’s odd mechanics absolutely baffled hitters in his first five appearances, in which he had a .009 WHIP and .001 ERA.

Unfortunately, the widespread usage of VHS tapes in the 1980s allowed opposing batters to study his motion in their hotel rooms, and they eventually figured him out – leading to a ghastly 20:1 BB/K ratio and 23.87 ERA in his final five appearances. He left the Cubs clubhouse penniless, humiliated and hopelessly addicted to cocaine (hey, it was the 80s). Tragic story, really.

Fortunately, he resurrected his athletic career on the Mexican jai alai circuit and now lives quite comfortably in an adobe shack just outside of Tijuana.

That's great to hear.

He’s really gotten his life in order since he got off the Colombian Marching Powder.

I'm blankin on his name.

Chip Caray used to call him “the guy with the rubber-band arm.”

Not williamson, but something close to that.

As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

As posted

It’s Ted Lily throwing his glove down after a Chris Young homer in the 07 NLDS.

Someone told Ted
