January 6, 200422 yr Older fans sould Remember Tug. Who pitched for the Phills and Mets until 1984 with his Famous Screwball. He's the father of Country Singer Tim Mcgraw. http://espn.go.com/classic/obit/s/2004/0105/1701174.html
January 6, 200422 yr That's sad to hear. Tugger was on of my favorite non-Sox players ever. I liked his enthusiasm on the mound and his sense of humor off of it. RIP Tug and condolences to your loved ones.
January 6, 200422 yr This is weird. Yesterday afternoon, on the Mac, Jurko and Harry show, they were having a sports "Dead Pool" contest. One of the callers picked Tug McGraw.
January 6, 200422 yr That caller was the earliest winner in the history of that segment, and no one will ever win that fast again unless they call in and then drop a piano on the person they chose. By the way, that's one of the funniest segments in radio, year after year.
January 6, 200422 yr KW still may try to sign Tug...he'll work real cheap and we don't have to sign him to a multiyear deal!

People actually do that? That is sick. Tug McGraw has been sick for a long time. He had far more personal courage and class in facing down the brain cancer than any ha ha ha hijinks of guessing when people die on a sports radio show.
January 7, 200422 yr Older fans sould Remember Tug. Who pitched for the Phills and Mets until 1984 with his Famous Screwball. He's the father of Country Singer Tim Mcgraw. http://espn.go.com/classic/obit/s/2004/0105/1701174.html He was also famous for his famous saying " you gotta believe" in certian situations. RIP to him and I send my condolences to his family.
January 7, 200422 yr Does anyone remember Tug's comic strip, Scroogie? It was nationally syndicated and was actually pretty funny.
