    Any generation, who everytime they threw or throw the ball makes you wish you could take a swing at one?

    Nolan Ryan. Saw one of his no-hitters the other day on ESPN classics. And who was the Astros pitcher back in the late 70's, J.R. Richards? I would have liked to take a swing at one of his fastballs.

    Randy Johnson!!

    Okay, so I would never want to take a swing at any of his pitches, but he's definitely my favorite.

    Phil Neikro would be cool.

    How about a big side arm guy like Burt Blyleven?

    williamj, what are the chances of you dropping dental building and concentrating on a knuckle ball pitch? you'd be perfect. knucklers can pitch on into there forties, so we got about 5 years to go with. what do you say? ya in?
