On the Prodigy forums back then I boldly predicted that Militello and fellow rookie Bob Wickman would both win 14 games. Despite being in the pen most of the time Wickman fullfijed my prophesy for him. Militello went down the rabbit hole and never came back up… Was Wickman the pitcher who was missing part of a finger or am I confusing him with someone else? Yes! Supposedly, this lesser digit made it impossible to throw a baseball straight - talk about a benefit (please consult your doctor before considering removing one of your fingers and a pitching coach before choosing the correct finger) |

He's not an obscure player, but Tim Raines seems to be a forgotten Yankee.
