I got my Chris Sale fix on Wednesday at U.S. Cellular Field. I just hope he stays healthy because he truly is special.
Sale reminds me of another young left-hander for the Sox: Gary Peters. For a stretch in the 60s, he was among the best in the game. He was the ’63 Rookie of the Year, and in four of five seasons from ’63 through ’67 had an ERA of 2.50 or lower.
Here are his stats at Baseball Reference.
Terrific pitcher. Had the pleasure of doing an extensive interview with him when I was writing for White Sox Interactive.
For any who are interested here is the link to that interview:
