Denny was a guest on the Jim Engster show today. He is a frequent guest. He debuted in the major leagues as a teenager 60 years ago today. He had a very interesting take on his pitching successes. He attributed it to his rehab after he hurt his arm in 1967. That winter he bowled a lot, 6 days a week. He said it built up his arm without stressing his shoulder. As a result, his fast ball got close to 100mph. He recommended that anyone with a teenager that seemed to be a pitching talent to have them bowl a lot. He was really serious about it
On a previous show, he said he learned to throw a slider for a strike and that added a few years to his career
