Summary

Mike Mussina was a cerebral assassin and one of the most consistent pitchers in baseball history, excelling against some of the game's biggest sluggers during the "Steroid Era". Despite finishing his Hall Of Fame career with 270 wins, and an American League record of 17 consecutive seasons with more than 10 wins, his career has been earmarked by near-misses and lost opportunity, both personally and for his teams. Always the best man, but never the groom, Moose would never win a Cy Young Award, but he would be a top 5 vote-getter 6 times in his career. He carried four no-hitters into the 8th or 9th inning, before coming up short, the most times for any pitcher who has never thrown a no-hitter. And he would neverf win a World Series ring. The closest he would come was 2001, when he would watch Luis Gonzalez hit a walk-off championship winning bloop single off Yankees teammate and closer Mariano RIvera, in Game Seven. He was a mad surgeon, applying small knicks from his scapel to his opponents, which on the surface seemed harmless. But if you took a step back and looked at yourself in the late innings. you'd be a bloody fucking mess. This week we follow his baseball journey from small=town America; Montoursville, Pennsylvania to a baseball legacy that ends in Cooperstown, New York, as one of the all-time immortals. #MikeMussina #Moose #MalcolmMussina #EllieMussina #MarkMussina #UniversityOfStanford #EdSprague #BaltimoreOrioles #CalRipkenJr #NewYorkYankees #MichaelKay #JoeTorre
