Jamie Moyer’s Recent "Success"

He might end up being forced into retirement by some freak hospitalization like the one he had over the winter.

it’s to throw the brick right.

Fight to the HoF! You can do it! And the Mariners should retire his number for sure!

Jamie Moyer was born November 18, 1962 in Sellersville, PA. One year and four days before the assassination of JFK.

Kirk Hammett: The Metallica guitarist was also being born. They share the same birth day.

Ken Griffey Jr: Moyer was 3 days past his 7th birthday when Jr was born.

Theo Epstein: Born Dec. 29, 1973, Moyer was 11 years old when the Red Sox GM came into this world.

Cliff Lee: Born August 30th, 1978, Clifton Phifer Lee was just a wee baby being held in his mothers arms while Moyer was 15 going on 16 at Souderton Area High School where he was a standout in baseball, basketball, and golf. Somehow Moyer must have figured he’d have a longer career in baseball then in.. golf.

Jake Gyllenhaal: Nearly 30 years before he was the stupid Prince of Persia, Gyllenhaal was born on Dec. 19, 1980. Meanwhile Jamie Moyer was a freshman pitcher for St. Joes University. Other people who were just infant toddlers who served no purpose in society when Moyer was a freshman in college: Kim Kardashian, Christina Aguilara, Rachel Nichols ESPN, Zooey Deschanel, Michael Vick, TI, Sue Bird, and Yao Ming.

Rob Johnson: Born July 22, 1984, Rob Johnson came into this world and was subsequently dropped by the doctor, his mother, his father, the nurse, randoms – it all makes sense now! Meanwhile, Moyer was setting single-season records as a senior at St Joes: 16 wins, 1.99 ERA, 90 K’s. He was then drafted in the 6th round by the Chicago Cubs. At the time, the Cubs had only been absent from the World Series for 78 years.

Rafael Nadal: Hard to believe it, but 2 days after one of the world’s current tennis greats was born, Jamie Moyer made his major league debut on June 13th, 1986. The Cubs beat the Phillies 7-5 as Moyer beat Steve Carlton. Little King Felix was a little more than two months old.

Rick Porcello: Born Dec. 27th, 1988 (and then constantly hounded for the rest of his life about whether he got dual presents) Porcello was still years away from being the youngest American League pitcher as he was last season. Meanwhile, Jamie Moyer is getting used to the idea of playing in Texas. Three weeks earlier he was traded, along with Rafael Palmeiro and Drew Hall for Paul Kilgus, Mitch Williams, Curt Wilkerson, Steve Wilson, Pablo Delgado, and Luis Benitez.

Starlin Castro: Currently the youngest player in the majors, Castro was born March 5th, 1990. Moyer was getting ready for his 2nd season with the Rangers, and would make 33 appearances that season, but only 10 starts.

Shelby Miller: There’s been a lot of talk the last day about Miller around these parts. Born Oct. 10th, 1990 in Brentwood Texas, Miller was just a month old when Moyer was told to get out of Texas, having been released by the Rangers.

Justin Beiber: Try to find famous people that are only 16 years old. It’s not easy. March 1st, 1994. At this point Moyer is about to turn 32 years old. He’s getting ready for his 2nd season in Baltimore, having already been with the Cubs, Rangers, Cardinals, Tigers, and now Orioles. He’s seen himself spend an entire year in the minors at age 29, seemingly getting ready for that exit from baseball that so many major leagues see if they haven’t established themselves by now. It’s unbelievable to think about now, but Justin Beiber is one of the most famous people in the world and has made millions over millions. Meanwhile Jamie Moyer was still two and a half YEARS away from joining the Mariners at age 33. When he came to the M’s, Moyer had 66 career victories.and was let go five times. When Moyer started his reclamation project with the Mariners full-time in 1997, Ryan Anderson had not yet been drafted yet. Moyer has won 195 games since the end of 1996. Even though this is obvious, I cant emphasize it enough: Jamie Moyer is still pitcing.
