My Take
Mitch Williams, forever "Wild Thing," is exactly the kind of pitcher I find irresistible. A reliever who bounced through six teams from 1986 to 1997, he survived on heat and chaos, the sort of arm that made every appearance feel like a coin flip. I love that volatility; it is theater on the mound. That he later thrived as an MLB Network analyst tells me he was always a performer, comfortable holding an audience whether throwing or talking. To me he embodies the truth that baseball remembers personalities as fondly as it remembers stats, and Williams had personality to spare.
