Chisoxfn Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 The year where he had that "frisbee" working was so awesome. A one year wonder - likely driven by age (35 I think when he started with the White Sox). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackowiakYakYak Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I never knew he was a dominant in the NPB and never realized his MLB career was only two seasons. He’ll always be the pitcher I think of when someone talks about throwing sidearm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 One of the most entertaining times I had at a regular season game was watching Shingo pitch for the 1st time. My nephew and I were laughing as frisbee after frisbee made the hitters that game look like idiots. Great fun. Congrats Shingo...wonder if he will wear his World Series ring to the ceremony?
