Who is the fastest pitcher ever? 105 seems ridiculous.

I'm pretty sad that the Jays didn't manage to sign him. Fireballers are super exciting.

I don't understand how people don't like Rick Reilly's writing. His TV performances, I totally get that.

yeah, i'm mostly talking about his TV persona.

I mean I wouldn't really be surprised either way, but I don't think it's exactly a stretch to think that someone who posts an article from 20 years ago knows that it's a fictional story already.

Mostly because I think he's a self-righteous douche.

Never read anything Reilly wrote so when I first saw him on tv I thought "who the **** would ever hire this guy!?". still havent read any of his stuff and still cant stand watching him on tv.

edit: and yeah i knew the article was a fake, i read it in the late 90s and found out in the next issue of SI that was a hoax; i was crushed.

Movement and location are significant factors, too. If he throws a straight fastball at 105 with bad control then major league hitters will hit it.
