DOT THE...LOWER-CASE J'S
In comes Bob Finnigan to try to warm up Mariner fans' hearts to submarining hack Mike Myers. Surely fans will remember all the clips ESPN has shown over the years of him basically cheating because his back foot is nowhere near being on the rubber when he goes back with the ball in his throwing hand.
So there's a part in the article where it says Myers has been throwing three-quarters in an attempt to have something decent to throw at righties so he doesn't always get tattooed. What does such a situation bring to my mind? This situation would be a submariner throwing three-quarters. I remember good ol' knuckleballer Tim Wakefield trying to put a fastball past Mike Blowers in the Kingdome with the bases loaded. Small sample size, I know, but memories can last a lifetime. Or at least eight to ten years or so.
