People you are just like dude how the fuck do they do that.
You know one comes to mind and that's Brian Wilson. He's the orchestrator behind virtually all those Beach Boy hits you grew up with, and really everyone even kids to this day are growing up with, I mean go to waterpark, pool, beach, boardwalk, 6 flags, they are STILL playing Beach Boys songs non stop, you can't escape it. It's as America as it gets. And he did all this as like a early 20 something year old kid. All those harmonies, melodies, that was him, it's just amazing.
And if you went around randomly with a photo of Brian Wilson, most people would not know who the hell that guy is, oh but you DEFINTELY know his music. He's had a lot of problems in his life, and now this year he's been diagnosed dementia and might not have too much longer on the earth and for me that's very sad, but wow what an American right?
What do you guys got, who's like somebody your just in total awe of their talent.
Watching Pedro pitch was certainly something. I've seen Clemens, Petit, Randy Johnson, Thor, Verlander, Glavin, Bartolo Colon, and Kershaw live. None of them compared. Granted, a lot of this is based on how batters were reacting to the pitches as opposed to me thinking "that Kershaw guy's curveball is good, but Pedro's looked so much better to me." (Also, Pedro's third pitch was really his change up and the curve was his 4th if I recall correctly).
Degrom's peak may have exceeded even Pedro's, but I haven't seen him live.
