Blast From the Past: Bob Shaw RIP

Some of you may remember back in the early days of this blog, I wrote a post on Bob Shaw, former Giants RHP who I believe pitched the first Giants game I ever listened to on the radio. Now comes word that Bob Shaw has died from liver cancer at the age of 77. Sorry I don't know how to do links on this blog, but here it is:

You can also find the link by going to the fangraphs link over on the left and then looking on the right side of their links page to the Hardball Times section.

Shaw is probably best known to Giants fans as the man who taught Gaylord Perry how the throw the spitter.
