Professional Athletes That Throw Like Girls

[Dids]

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.

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.

Sadly I have to agree.

Anderson and Dye make up for it, however.

Barry Bonds...

(see 1992 NLCS, it was SID "I can't barely walk, let alone run" BREAM)
