Thank you. A Summer Wildfire: How the greatest debut in baseball history peaked and dwindled over the course of three months by Colin Thomas Reynolds, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 SUPERVISORS: Tracy Dahlby & Bill Minutaglio The narrative itself is an ageless one, a fundamental Shakespearean tragedy in its progression. A young man is deemed invaluable and exalted by the public. The hero is cast into the spotlight and bestowed with insurmountable expectations. But the acclamations and pressures are burdensome and the invented savior fails to fulfill the prospects once imagined by the public. He is cast aside, disregarded as a symbol of failure or one deserving of pity. It’s the quintessential tragedy of a fallen hero. The protagonist of this report is Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg, who enjoyed a phenomenal rookie season before it ended abruptly due to a severe elbow injury.

It's irresistible, because there's no answer. We only started using speed guns on pitchers in the 1970's leaving almost a century of pitchers who went untimed.Who are the candidates?

The Tigers’ left-handed starting pitcher was present Sunday afternoon at Joker Marchant Stadium, working out on the back fields as the team’s pitchers continue to trickle in ahead of Thursday’s pitchers and catchers reporting date. “Really exciting times,” Norris said. “As soon as I hit the road, I started getting excited about the upcoming season.” He is clear of the thyroid cancer he was diagnosed with last season after a successful surgery to remove a malignant growth, and he has been in Lakeland since the end of January. Parked next to the team’s minor league clubhouse was his road companion, a cream-colored 1978 Volkswagen van. Inside was an orange surfboard.
