    Tom Shearn

    Was unbeaten as a Reds starter 3-0, invincible, to what do you attribute his 1,000.00 winning percentage

    Re: Tom Shearn

    Is it wrong that when I clicked this thread I thought unless he just died there’s absolutely nothing that could remotely interest me about Tom Shearn.

    Having said that, are we really doing this again?

    In his last professional appearance, Shearn lasted 1/3 of an inning and gave up 6 hits and 5 ERs. Good on Tom for going out with a bang and not a whimper!

    I'm just glad BB finally figured out how to use the <shift> key.

    If he'd won the Nobel Peace Prize for getting rid of Trump, that would interest me.

    Various internet sites says he is famous for saying "Tom Shearn is only one man”. But I don’t have the slightest glimmer of a memory of this.

    At this point, I'd trade him for Jeff Austin
