Don Gullett. Of whom Willie Stargell said āhe could throw a baseball through a car wash without getting it wetā.

I remember Gullett as a pretty damn good pitcher whose career ended early and abruptly.
He looked like a lock for the Hall of Fame. He had a 100 plus wins and several World Series appearances by the time he was about 25 or 26. Then a torn rotator cuff and he was through. No telling what he could have done if he had reached his prime.

I was just telling someone about this, that I met him any number of times when I was a kid and never was there a time he could have been nicer.
