Congratulations to Jamie Moyer and the World Series champion Philadelphia Phillies! Jamie was my favorite Mariner while he was with the team and still remains the definition of "class act" in baseball.
In writing about the wild, late-into-the-night third game of the World Series, the Wall Street Journal states, "For all this, the hero of the game may have been Mr. Moyer, the 45-year old pitcher who this year had the best campaign ever by a starter so old. Tampa Bay's young hitters, having been provided with sternly worded scouting reports instructing them not to let the old man expand the strike zone, simply could not resist the temptation to swing at an endless array of puff balls, benders and lobs. The fastest arrived much slower than most pitchers' change-ups. Mr. Moyer allowed three runs in 6 1/3 innings and left with a lead that would have, had it held, made him the oldest man to ever win a World Series game."
Don't you just love how they call him "Mr. Moyer"!! Congratulations, Jamie.... and you're not really THAT old....
