Reg: All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
Attendee: Brought peace?
Reg: Oh, peace – shut up!

I look forward to those fifteen minutes all week. Love his pacing and ability to segueway between questions.

Not fair to cherry pick on Drabek’s 1993 stats with Astros.

After 1992 season, Drabek was 29 years old, coming off a Cy Young win in 1990 and 5th in Cy Young voting in 1992. .277 ERA in 1992.

Pirates chose not to make large effort to resign him after 1992 season.
Unless they knew some inside medical info about Drabek, poor effort and big loss to rotation.

I’m too old for another 20-year disaster!

He left but wasn’t going to be worth anything close to what he’d get paid. Not so for the other three.

Also Tim Wakefield. I always enjoyed watching him.
