Tug McGraw, RIP

Tug McGraw, southpaw pitcher who won championships with the NY Mets and Philadelphia Phillies, died today of brain cancer. He was 59.

Tug was one of the guys who made baseball fun. When a reporter asked him whether he preferred AstroTurf or grass, he replied, 'I don't know - I never smoked AstroTurf.' He also coined the phrase 'You Gotta Believe' for the '73 Mets.

Rest in peace, Tugger.
