Blow Out the Candles June 21

Pitcher and broadcaster Rick Sutcliffe is celebrating his 56th birthday today.
ROY 1979
Rick had his best W-L percentage as an Indian going 35-24 in 2+ seasons.
 I liked Sutcliffe and so did the voters.  He won the 1984 NL Cy Young Award.
Rick finished his career with the Cards after two seasons with the Orioles.

  1. Shtarker, zis is KAOS! Ve don't blog here!!!!

    I didn't watch the videos, so forgive me if I'm repeating, but Hirschfeld often hid his daughter Nina's name in his drawings. If you look at the Sesame Street drawing, there's a 9 after "HIRSCHFELD"; that means there are 9 NINA's in in the drawing (often hidden in the hair, from my experience).
