Re: Professional Athletes That Throw Like Girls
Bernie Williams and Johnny Damon are 1a and 1b in this list.
Also, David Eckstein and Jeff Bagwell... Bagwell can't even throw the ball anymore.

When Eckstein made that play in the in the all star game in the first inning it looked like a little leaguer was throwing the ball to first.

[ QUOTE ] Bernie Williams [/ QUOTE ] No, he doesn't. But Johnny Damon certainly does, as the OP pointed out. He's such a sissy. [/ QUOTE ] Anyone notice the irony of this Dead post from July considering that Johnny Damon is now a Yankee?

Re: Professional Athletes That Throw Like Girls
One of the most odd things I've ever seen, and it had a weird profound effect on me.
Randy Johnson back when he was in his prime with the M's. Just insane good. Ball gets hit back to the mound, and he's moving towards first, that inbetween distance where you can't make a full toss, but you can't underhand it. Johnson just makes this really ugly throw, exactly like you picture when you think of how a girl throws (which I believe was nowhere close to the bag and the guy advanced). All of a sudden this guy who had been this fearsome, dominating player, who almost seemed inhuman had turned into this tall, geeky looking, guy who couldn't walk without trippy overhimself. It was just so weirdly humanizing of him that it somehow made me really sad and I found the whole thing very touching.

Re: Professional Athletes That Throw Like Girls
Not to nitpick, but Randy really reached his prime in his late 30s with the DBacks. Four straight Cy Youngs with ERA's under 2.65 each year. He had three dominant years in 9 years with Seattle, while he was dominant in five of his six years with Arizona, and was robbed of what should have been his sixth Cy in 2004.
