Last break of the year, as it's time to head to Florida for Thanksgiving. I'll be back on 12/2 or so.

Hey, obscure question about the data on your site. When I sort for 1973 rookies, for some reason Charlie Spikes does not show up, even though he was a rookie in 1973. I don't know if the data issue affects others, but I was hoping to get a thorough list. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

As a huge fan of 70s baseball, this is a sad day as Randy was ubiquitous in the 70s. For me personally, Randy is center stage of one of my core moments of fandom; the 1976 All-Star Game. I was fortunate enough to attend as a 9-year old and Randy vs Fidrych was the main story line.

Thanks Randy. RIP
The Hall of Fame remembers All-Star pitcher Randy Jones, who passed away Tuesday at the age of 75.

Jones was the first Padres pitcher to win the Cy Young Award after leading the major leagues in 1976 with 22 wins, 25 complete games and 315.1 innings pitched.
