    RIP Joaquín Andújar

    He hit I think 5 career home runs. Why this is interesting to me is his philosophy at the plate was very "joaquin" like. He swung from the heels. Never got cheated. Swung so hard the trainers always worried he was going to hurt himself. Why you swing so hard? "If I get lucky and make contact I want ball to go long long way"

    Won game 7 of the 82 Series. His best work came against a toilet after he was ejected in game 7 of the 85 series.

    Great memories. An elite pitcher back then. He and John Tudor were a great 1-2. Just didn't last as long as others of that era.

    RIP

    he was a legend just not on the field
