    Doesn't Dwight Gooden have or hold the record at one time for the fastest pitch?

    Did you click that link, the baseball Almanac still has Nolan Ryan, and I can't seem to find anything else that would state otherwise.

    I've heard rumors of the 103-105 mph pitch over the last few years, but I've never seen it documented. That said, I think it's odd that the 100.9 has held up over the last 30 years.

    oh, i find it hard to believe to, i just wanna see something besides SI, which is an unreliable source, IMO, something that holds validity that says there is a faster pitch recorded.

    the article was written by George Plimpton - he's a pretty famous author. If you read the article you see it was written back in 1985. It quotes most of the higher ups on the Met's at the time.

    Finch was a flake that's why he never made it to the big leagues. I guess they were leery of him firing a 168 mph fastball at some guys head.

    ;)
