CrimsonWeltall Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 So basically he can't read the big ole E on the eye chart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Though I guess legal blindness would have to be 20/200 with corrective lenses. But still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Pretty interesting Alex. And of course only you would find something like this out. I'm basically like Peavy, though I'm not THAT blind without glasses/contacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiddleCoastBias Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I love how when, like in every consummate sports article, they throw in his 'key' statistics there is no mention of his pitching stats, just his batting stats. I understand he was in the NL and needs to bat but the basis of the article was how he couldn't pick up pitches ie how he's pitching, so by extension it would make sense they would highlight his pitching numbers. I know it's a minor thing, I just thought it was funny. Plus, those weren't Mike Hampton circa ATL Braves numbers but they certainly weren't bad in any case.

southsider2k5 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 10, 2009 -> 12:47 AM) I'm legally blind without glasses. I couldn't even tell you that there was a chart there without my glasses on. Me too. The term legally blind really means nothing anymore, as pretty much all people in this state can be corrected with minimal effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Peavy is legally blind, while opposing hitters normally can't see his nasty pitches. Go Peavy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
