Like putting John Kruk No. 1 in The Baseball 100.
The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!

Second-best LEFT-HANDED OUTFIELDER born in Donora on Nov. 21.
One of my favorite random baseball oddities is that Ken Griffey Jr. is the 2nd best ballplayer to be born on November 21st in Donora, PA.

"He never gave hitters a moment to breathe — Jones pitched fast, crazy fast, impossibly fast, barely even waiting to get the ball back from the catcher before beginning his windup again."
The Sinkerball Wizard
A tribute to Randy Jones, who baffled hitters, defied logic, and somehow made the game move impossibly fast by pitching impossibly slow.
