Those of us who have watched baseball in the past 20 years know the name Mark Buehrle.
A celebrated career which saw the soft-tossing left hurl 2 no-hitters - one of which being a perfect game - earn 5 AL All-Star selections, win 214 games, a World Series title, and finish with 59.1 rWAR, Buehrle ‘get it and pitch’ approach was refreshing in an era when the three hour game was becoming more commonplace.
Now, as 2021 is above the horizon, Buehrle, for first time, will see his name on a Hall of Fame ballot, and though he may not get in, he will always be remembered fondly among fans and those within the sport.
