#662 and I'm not sure which guy was from another planet either
CY YOUNG vs MVP - YouTube:
If you've seen a pitcher - batter confrontation as compelling as this in recent years, let me know.
Head to head, neither guys backs down. Bonds had just hooked a 99MPH fastball into the drink foul and Gagne, in true Major League style, eschews the request from his catcher to toss a change-up, choosing instead to "go with the heater". Which Bonds promptly yacks into the CF bleachers.
4 minutes of epic, classic baseball confrontation.
Just something to get away from the Hall of Fame blather.
OBTW, 40 days until Pitchers and Catcher Report. Music to my ears as the temps hover around zero in Chi-town.
