Subj : Food for discussion To : Steve Quarrella From : Ed Grinnell Date : Sun Mar 04 2001 02:02 am Steve Quarrella gave up a long homer to Otis Nixon and said: SQ> I can see an argument about Rose, but what was his take on Nolan Ryan? I hate to say it but I see more of an argument FOR Rose than Ryan. My only thing against Rose is what he did (No matter how much he denies it). SQ> a remarkable guy. If you want to rail against a pitcher, Phil Niekro I hate to disagree but there's more going for Phil: 318-274 (.537) vs 324-292 (.526), 3 20 win seasons vs 2. ERA is higher but that comes from pitching in parks that were more hitter friendly. --- TrekEd 1.00 * Origin: Striking a blow to purists (1:170/1701) .
