You do realize what a unicorn is, right?
Actually I do...
"Since it first named that one-horned equine around the 1200s, the word unicorn has gone on to name "a person or thing that is rare and highly valued."
<.00005% qualifies as rare and likely "highly valued" as you should know as a "past professional".
I'll make this shite easy for you:
“I didn’t have a good fastball, but so what?” he said. “I went out there 50 times this season without a good fastball. You have to learn to live with it.

"For Lee Thomas, the clinching factor was that fastball clocked at 83 mph." LINK
I left out more flaws in your "I got paid to play this game" fantasy... you'll drop more.

There is one problem with this........
quote:
There are less than 7500 living males in North America & Latin America etc throwing a real 90+ mph fastball. Divide that into 190,000,000 and tell me they aren’t unicorns.
how many of those 190,000,000 million are pitchers? Using your logic, any professional soccer player is a unicorn because of the numbers.
Look, you made a ridiculous statement about your buddy, because you are friends with him, topping out as a closer at 83 MPH in the WS. Just own it. You have continued to argue that maintaining a 90+ avg. is very difficult. I have shown you factual data you are wrong over and over again. Maybe you will start to pay more attention when baseball resumes, instead of just watching......if you even do that.

It’d have to be third party.. I’m n CO & it’s not feasible. Trust me I’d love to.. I’d make the experience fun & would honor my side if I lost. Call me crazy but I’d enjoy the process more of you won the bet, I just know the odds & would take the risk.

I’ve known Mitch for a long time, we are not buddies. I’ve know hundreds of MLB people for a long tlme with some being close buddies.
You’ve been provided empirical data.. now let’s get back to your time as a “I got paid!” professional.

I spent 5 years in the minors. I could not hit an off-speed pitch to save my life. That, and the fact the organization I played for brought in a future HOF right behind me sealed my fate. I got frustrated because they were moving him past me and it was obvious I was not in their plans. I asked for a trade, but they refused.........because you are nothing but property at that level. At that level you are living 6-8 guys in a two bedroom apt. and living off of sandwiches. After 5 years I gave up on my dream. I could have gone and played in an Independent League, but I was fed up with the game at that point.
That is my story

One hell of a story for a guy who thinks that a 17 year old 6’3” left handed pitcher with a brother in the pros went undrafted until the 8th round after setting the state wins record... was actually clocking high 90’s. In 1982 nonetheless.
Seeing that you are choosing to die slowly on this hill, I do appreciate you for it doing it ceremoniously as to entertain us during tough times.
Gtfo outta here with this shite you clown.

So you are going to show up with your 67 mph fastball & $1.43 in your pocket.
You can’t even get a small tater tots at Sonic with that, c’mon man.

I played HS ball against a guy who threw high 90's in 1982, that didn't go until the 16th round. Every time he threw there were at least 20 jugs at the game. You talk about this. I lived it. Posted on 3/20/20 at 5:29 pm to OldSchoolHorn
No ill show up with money. Im just saying 5k is alot. But im telling you that i will win. Why would i drive 3 hours to potentially lose money? I just wouldn't show up.

This is never happening whether it's true or not, I'm sorry but lets be realistic... you can't even ride a ski lift or hit a strip club right now.
Most importantly, it's distracting from the show this MrFantasyAUTiger clown is putting on... this is not the time for us to be selfish.

Well I believe Doyle Alexander became a dentist, I guess we could see if he'll fix those busted up teeth of yours.
Several own fast food franchises that i could get you interviews with... they really don't screen backgrounds like the PwC Texas alumns that permanently destroyed your life after those racist tweets.
Mel Hall is in a Texas prison, y'all should definitely meet.. he'd probably think that mouth of yours is actually purty & put it to good use.

Your ignorance is astounding. Keep it up though. It's like watching a train wreck. ETA It's comical how you know all of these former major leaguers but doubt a guy who flamed out in the minors.
