Tom Sito highlights a bit of the history of pitching in addition to some classic pitching disasters from Walt’s days to today.

HEY GANG; ALL DUE RESPECT.
THIS SEEMS LIKE PITCHING “WIVES TALES” TO ME.
MAN; I’D USE RAILROAD SPIKE TO HOLD UP MY WORK IF I COULD.

I LIKE THAT IN AN ARTIST. DRAWING WITH CONVICTION AND BELIEVING IN YOUR WORK!
MY OPINION ONLY.
TAKE CARE LIDS AND I’LL SEE YOU ALL AT THE PITCH!
