For any of you who thought my recent Jim Bunning post had nothing whatsoever to do with baseball...

Jimbo was a hall of fame pitcher, most significantly with the Detroit Tigers from 1955 to '63 and later in his career with the Phillies; he spent two seasons with the Pirates, and the Summer of Love with the Dodgers. He retired from baseball in 1971 with a lifetime ERA of 3.27, 224 wins and only 184 losses. Amazingly, in 18 years as a major league pitcher, he balked only 8 times (compare that with his political career so far...)
