Has there ever been almost a 7'0 pitcher? He'd have to worry about balls headed towards the mound being so tall. But I'm glad he's getting a lot of attention. This is only a step to greater things for him. The biggest attention obviously was in Beijing and him and KGs pictures in the jerseys being on The Luxor? if I'm not mistaking during the Las Vegas All Star Game. However this is something you can't turn down.

Randy Johnson is 6-10, and the Rays have Jeff Neimann who is 6-9.

Dave DeBuscherre 6-8, of the Knicks, pitched for the White Sox, and Mark Hendrickson 6-9 pitched for the Rays and played for the Cavaliers.

Maybe he should have stayed on the mound for the Sox.

...if Howard can't make a freethrow from 15 feet away, how's he gonna hit the strike zone 60 feet out?
