Hey coach, back when you were really pitching, how fast were you throwing it?
Jimmy:
I don't know. 85, 86?
Joel De La Garza:
That's not too bad.
Jimmy:
It is when the other guy's throwing 90.
Joel De La Garza:
Coach, let's see you bring one.
Jimmy:
Can't. Promised too many doctors.
Joel De La Garza:
Come on, coach, one isn't going to kill you. Come on, feed me!
Hunter:
Yeah, dad, bring the heat!
Joel De La Garza:
[Jim gets himself ready while Joel waits in the catcher's position]
Feed me, coach.
[Jim pauses, then winds up and throws his fastball, which audibly whisses by and hits hard into Joel's glove, much to the shock of him and Hunter]
Hunter:
Woah!
Joel De La Garza:
Coach, where did that come from?
Jimmy:
[Smiles]
Forgot how good that sounded.

Slow enough that scouts stopped
using the word "fast."
Jim, how fast
were you throwing?
I don't know.
85, 86.
Why?
You just threw
98 miles an hour.
Nah.
Dozen straight pitches.
Three radar guns.
Same thing on all of 'em.
Nah, D-Dave,
there's no way that I --
I've been a scout
a long time now,
and Rule Number One is arms
slow down when they get older.
Listen, Jim,
I call the office
and I tell them I got a guy here
almost twice these kids' age,
I'm gonna get laughed at.
But if I don't call in
a 98-mile-an-hour fastball,
I'm gonna get fired.
I'm just letting you know
that there's a chance
you might get a call
on this.
You figure out what I saw out
there today,
you let me know, okay?
Okay.
