$ALT $XBI More like the Nolan Ryan of Cardiometabolic Medicine in my opinion, drafted 295th overall (12th round) from a small town in Texas (Alvin), where only the locals who had seen him pitch throughout his high school career as well as a few very astute scouts truly understood the HOF potential of his arm.

One very sharp New York Mets scout, Red Murff, reported back to the team in 1963: "the best arm I've seen in my life". He understood wildness could be tamed (analogous to Trial Design dose reduction/titration), whereas power and velocity were innate characteristics.
BTW, the six idiot professional sports writers who did not vote for Ryan remind me of some of the pseudo-science clowns on ST.
