Please Make a Note of This Simple Fact

Congratulations to Bruce Sutter on his induction to the Hall of Fame this afternoon.

But to all the media members out there, please note that Sutter is not the “Father of the Split-Finger Fastball” (as he was referred to on Baseball Tonight). Sutter did not invent the pitch. He may have popularized it, but the pitch was around for years before Sutter put on a Cubs uniform.

Please make a note of this for the future. Thank you.
