S1E14: Shutout Percentage Leaders (Career)- Part 2
Well, we didn't nearly cover the whole list of those pitchers who threw shutouts in 10% of their career starts or more last time, so we're picking it up again here. There are some surprises on the list, but there are also a few fun sidetracks into other stuff like Rube Waddell's 1902 season and Berns' recent tour with his metal band through SE Europe. A classic episode, of course.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
