Man o man, that really fucked mitch up after that.
He moved back home in my area here in Oregon and went into depression..
A great pitcher, but dam will be rememebred for that since he never bounced back.
Too bad.
Many pitchers bounce back from that but he didnt.
Dennis Eckersly bounsed back after giving the winning pitch to Kirk Gibson i rememeber to still become one of the best closers ever.. But Mitch never did.

Yup poor guy, he was still kind of young then, could have pitched relief for a few more years no problem. A lot of closers get lost in the shuffle.
