Same as yesterday don't take into account future success/failure. Your playing for the state title who do you want on the mound:

Tracy Stallard
Doug Bates

Charlie Beverly

Agreed
Charlie has always been the forgotten man,but he was a hoss.

doug bates. the 39-1 record was astounding.

**buckeye_fan** · February 27th, 2008, 04:41 PM

It's gotta be Bates.
39-1? c'mon.

**Unchained** · February 27th, 2008, 04:56 PM

Hard to argue vs Bates. He was an awesome pitcher. Beverly's stuff (from what I have been told) was as good at very least (many around Wise say it was better) than Bates'.

you guys are kidding right......Tracy Stallard pitched for the RED SOX. and not just pitched a game or two, he pitched for 7 years in the majors. And it wasnt just the majors then, it was THE sport in america (baseballs hey-day), and it wasnt diluted down by expansion.

LEt me ask you all this, ive heard from sources that during his senior year, the district just stopped the season. Coeburn was so good that they didnt finish out the season. anyone heard this??

and by the way, he only pitched 4 games in his first year, but ted williams was on that team. his second year in boston, carl yastrzemski was on that team!
he pitched with Bob Gibson in STL and Casey Stengel was his manager.

Stallard may have been a good pitcher, but he certainly didn't help himself at all.

Once again, the point of this is to NOT look into their future success.
High school ball people, high school ball.
