His control was what made his fastball so scary.
Juan Marichal averaged only 3 hit batters a season.
Randy Johnson plunked an average of 11 per season. His early lack of control didn't hurt his chances to intimidate for a whole career.

I read an interview once where Gibson pointed out that the whole "look how mean he is, he just hates people" legend somehow never attached itself to similarly intense WHITE pitchers who played the same kinds of mental intimidation games.... and hit many more batters.
@YusufToropov @RuthODay @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @Jaden3 @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices Right? Furthermore, there's always some sort of narrative chasing a Black pitcher around when they don't hit a guy more often.
It'd be smarter to teach every young pitcher who catches crap for not being a headhunter about the career line of Sandy Koufax. 18 HBP. Total. Sandy wasn't intimidated by a hitter.

Tangent: Sandy refused to plunk Juan Marichal in the infamous Roseboro game.
@YusufToropov @RuthODay @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @Jaden3 @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices Marichal and Roseboro had no lingering animosity either. There are a lot of lessons to draw from August 22, 1965. Especially about turning something ugly into a teachable moment.

There is a great (fairly short) video about this incident and their reconciliation. I will track it down.

Here is that superb video about the toxic brawl ignited by John #Roseboro and Juan #Marichal (make no mistake, they collaborated on it) ... and also about the inspiring story of their reconciliation.

SENATORS STOP THE BLEEDING AT THE COYLE
"Peanuts" Davis got Minoso, the potential go-ahead run, to line out to Edsall Walker in RF on the final play. Davis: CG win. Tigers' win streak was snapped at 7.
Owner Bill Robinson dances for joy.

Tonight's #1947League game brought to you by @YakyuNightOwl and the one, the only, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson!

And just for fun, here's a recreation of the master's routine for that classic number ...

A legend too. Honi Coles and Cholly Atkins met in 1940 while working with Cab Calloway, and after the war, the duo performed together for years.

"Peanuts" Davis and Henry Aaron played on the same team ... but not at the same time. Name that team.
For an extra song pick, tell me what position Aaron played on that team.

PHOTO FINISH!
@YakyuNightOwl by 16 seconds!
Not 2B. SS.
What would you like to hear, Yakyu?
@YusufToropov @RuthODay @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @Jaden3 @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices I knew it had to be middle infield because the "whatcouldabeen" factor hits me every time I remember Henry Aaron with the Clowns. Toni and Hank? Together? Kicking some ass and drawing scouts? Yes please!
@YakyuNightOwl @RuthODay @tabletopmania @ted_duffield @Jaden3 @cbtryon @sendtherunners @aurelia @AlisonW_RedSox @BigEarl @baseball @OhhJim @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 @mattmaison @blackvoices
That's a DP combination I would have paid big money to see...

While thinking about a selection for tomorrow, I have a fun trivia question.
If you put their appearances together, Toni Stone and Hank Aaron started 120 games at what MLB ballpark?

Sportsman's Park?
