...I think Bert Blyleven. He had perhaps the nastiest in baseball history and used it to rack up 287 wins and 3,701 strikeouts. He also holds a dubious record, giving up 50 home runs one year. Blyleven was born in Holland and went through Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on his way to America. He is the smallest member of my Hall of Fame painting collection as I chose to portray him in a way that maybe conjures up that big curveball coming at you.
