Loved this Wall Street Journal piece about Mitch Williams, who has become a Philadelphia fave 15 years after blowing a World Series.

Mr. Williams was not a classic closer. Most pitchers brought in late in games to shut down the other team have stellar control and allow few base runners. Mr. Williams’s pitching style didn’t inspire confidence. The rugged, 6-foot-4-inch fireballer had a mullet and a violent delivery. When he threw, the top half of his body went one way, the bottom half another. He nearly tumbled off the mound with each pitch.

It’s a nice piece of writing and a nice comeback story.
