There goes our one true Ace

 

In all seriousness, I would have loved to see what Cappy could have done had injury not derailed his career. In his prime, he was one of the better lefty starters in MLB.

Did he die?

Hangs them up means retiring

Hangs them up means retiring

 

I get a chuckle when players "retire" when it's been clear for a year that nobody wanted their services. It's like the old saying "they'll have to rip the shirt off me before I retire". Capuano's been shirtless a while.

Great changeup.

I remember when my dad and I went down to Milwaukee to catch the brewers for my birthday, I remember him hitting a double in front of us in the LF bleachers. Per game logs looks like it was in 2005. I don't remember him giving up 6 runs though... but that was 12 years ago, hehe.

Funny, the thing I remember most is his one career HR.

 

Opposite field bomb into the Brewer bullpen at MP. Ueck was stunned, he didn't do his traditional HR call because he thought it was a routine fly off the bat and couldn't believe how the ball just kept carrying and carrying.

Cappy and that darn pick off move!! He'd get guys not even trying to steal. Back in the dark days his run at 20 wins was a fun watch. Smart Duke guy. Hope he stays in the game.

[DocLuna7]

Didn’t Cappy try and learn Japanese when the team had Tomo Ohka?

[jerichoholicninja]

Got to meet Cappy, Bill Hall, Scott Podsednik, Mike DeJean, and Doug Melvin at one of the Brewers Winter Warmups they used to do. Seemed like a cool guy.

[kalle8]

apart from baseball I will remember him for telling in an interwiev he used to visit Milwaukee with a segway. (I spent 10 minutes of today just trying to remember the name of that vehicle!)

Lefty with First name Chris. Like Me so there was a live through times at what life could be like if my parents actually thought about raising a kid to pitch LH. Narveson too.
