Jamie Moyer

[Darkstone42]

As many of you know, Jamie Moyer is the oldest pitcher to win a game in Major League history.

What you may not know is that Moyer has faced 8% of all Major League players in the history of the League, per the Elias Sports Bureau.

If my source (The Ballplayers : A Baseball Player Encyclopedia) is reliable, there have been 17,560 players in the history of Major League Baseball.

This means that Jamie Moyer has pitched to 1405 different Major League Baseball players.

Wow.

As an interesting side note, not a single player in Major League history has had a last name starting in X. And now you know.

Moyer's fastball


This is probably one of the funniest ones.

That hitter's reaction was priceless.


But Moyer must be one of the savviest pitchers ever. Getting guys out with stuff like his takes some serious strategy and smarts.

Agreed and agreed, if he ever quits pitching i think he would make an excellent pitching coach.
