I got to see him one time as a kid in the 70’s at Shea during his Mets peak. What a pitcher.

Even at the end of his career when he was with the White Sox, and he didn't have his best stuff anymore, he got by on smarts.
Textbook throwing motion, too, especially how he "pitched with his legs", which is why he never had arm trouble.
He was one of those guys who you wondered how he could not have been a unanimous HOF selection.
And yes...I wanna know who the morons were that left him off their ballot that 1st year.
