Via Jon Weisman, we learn that Pedro Astacio’s debut was 20 years ago. That’s not really relevant to a general baseball audience. But this might be:
It Was 20 Years Ago Today ...
↵Astacio bore down to throw his 144th pitch of the game, a number that has not been matched since by any Dodger pitcher, much less a rookie, much, much less a rookie in his first major-league game.↵Good gravy. Turns out that Astacio had problems staying healthy for most of his career. The two probably aren’t directly related, but I’m going to do that lawyer thing where I mention it even though I know the objection will be sustained. (They’re totally related.)
