rico43, not long ago, posted this
Phillies image of Arlin in the Minor League thread.
Since you've requested an Ohio State image, I've attached one which was found
here.
And also attached is a high school image of Steve which was included in a
look back at the '66 OSU championship.
Personally, I would disagree that saying he was a much better pitcher than his record indicated is a gross understatement. Throughout his career, he walked as many batters as he struck out (the one exception being the year of his pro debut). And, truthfully, one of the reasons the Phillies left him unprotected is because he was more committed to becoming a dentist than he was to being a pitcher (he was actually a practicing dentist well before his pitching career ended). As an old time Mets fan, I initially approached his record with the quote (about Roger Craig) in mind--that you have to be a pretty darn good pitcher to lose 20 games. But, in his major league career, Steve went 34-67. And, in the minors, he went 19-33. It is true that he carried a no-hitter 2 outs into the ninth inning--the closest any Padre has ever come. And there is no doubt he was dominant at the college level. But, looking at his full record, I don't get the feeling that his heart was ever in professional baseball. Just sayin'. Although, from what I hear, he was a helluva dentist. Nothing wrong with that. The world needs good dentists.
