Oh man, don't get me going...........

Bill Salaga would come in with his zoot suit and cigar and loudly proclaim,
“Well HELLO there! My name is Raymond J. Johnson Junior”

And then the straight man (David Steinberg back in the mid 70s), would go
“Hi Mr Johnson”

“Aw you doesn’t has ta call me Johnson. You can call me Ray. Or you can call me Jay.

Shields' changeup is God-like

and his control is outstanding. That’s why he’s so tough. Yeah, his fastball doesn’t blow you away (although he can get it up to 94-95 in rare occasions) but he locates it well and that changeup is just so good it more than makes up for it.

We're not going to sign him back again.

If there’s a 10th inning, I would expect to see him back out there. Only 92 pitches.
