Greg,
gary thomas? really?
no doubt the man was very good and one of the toughest I ever faced but he practically threw sidearm. I know the legality rules were changed year to year, tourny to tourny, but I would've hoped someone even remotely legal would get nominated before him, Ralph Mish aside.
there was a guy who played in the 70's and 80's(maybe the 90's too). threw really hard with a real hard nuckler.....name escapes me at the moment. My Dad says he was the best pitcher he ever faced/saw. including Ralph
I'm not trying to knock Gary Thomas, but I wouldnt consider him the best I ever saw, but he was the 2nd most "illegal" to the lefty on ....Stafford tire?... white and orange team from boston area...been around forever? that guy did throw sidearm
