Why this card is awesome: Because I assume Schiraldi is warming up on a bullpen mound here, given how far away the crowd is. Oh, and because he looks like a complete tool. And I don't mean tool as in "he's a 5-tool player."
Cool stat: For pitchers who finished with 300 to 600 career IP since 1901, Schiraldi had the 24th-best strikeout rate. But for all the guys ahead of him, only 8 had a higher career WHIP. (Scan the 3rd column of stats to see that.) That's why he never made it past 600 career IP.
It really wasn't Calvin's fault McNamara left him in for a 3rd inning......
