Remember his great matchups with Yankees in late 70's playoffs.

The starting point for my( somewhat irrational) Yankee hatred. I believe he started the game that Chambliss hit the homer off of Mark Littel in.

Had great matchups with Hogan. Too bad his neck got fucked up.

Deliver a piledriver to God.

Splittorff did not start that Glorious game, Dennis Leonard did. He did, however, come in extremely early in relief. Here was the box score:

Kansas City Royals IP H R ER BB SO HR BFP
Leonard 0 3 2 2 0 0 0 3
Splittorff 3.2 3 2 2 3 1 0 17
Pattin 0.1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
Hassler 2.1 4 2 1 3 1 0 13
Littell L(0-1) 1.2 1 1 1 0 1 1 6
Totals 8 11 7 6 6 3 1 40

Sad to hear this. He was a real good guy. When I lived up in the KC area I often heard him on the radio and always enjoyed it.

When I was out in Bozeman, I had MLBTV to watch the White Sox. More often than not, you would get the home team's TV feed so I watched a good dozen or so games over the course of those 2 years with Splittorf calling the games. He was a really good color man. I couldn't believe that that bad a team had such a good TV crew.

Pretty sad to hear, and 64 is not even that old.

He was, and has been treated fairly for over 8 years in our country.
