Happy Birthday to Baseball Hall of Famer, Bruce Sutter, one of the games most dominant relief pitchers of all-time.
Sutter's forkball was one of the most hardest to hit pitches of all-time. It led to him being the fourth relief pitcher to enter the Hall of Fame. He spent most of his career with the Cubs and Cardinals, though he also played for the Braves at the end of his career.
He led the National League in saves five times, was a six time all-star and was the National League Cy Young Award winner in 1979. An all-time great career.
"Will you please check that ball? I've never seen anything like it."
--Lee Lacy, on Sutter's Forkball
