that is a blast from the past.i was not around yet to remember the hype(perhaps Houbb can fill us in) but i met him in 86 and he was a super nice guy. hard to believe he went from graduating high school to pitching in the majors in the same month!! Whitey Herzog was the manager then and has always regretted going along with the greedy owner at the time(Bob Short) and rushing Clyde so quickly to the majors...It absolutely led to his arm breaking down...His MLB debut was such a big event all 35,698 seats were sold(first sellout in arlington stadium i believe) and the night after he pitched the attendance was.....3,992
On another note, to show just how freakin good Clyde was in high school his senior year in Houston....
18-0 and gave up 3 earned runs in 148 Innings for a 0.18 era with 328 k's...yes those are not typos....
congrats again!!
