When I was in HS I played against David Clyde. [View all]

He was drafted#1 in all of baseball by the Texas Rangers straight out of HS (Houston, Westchester HS) in 1973. I remember his elegant motion and left handed delivery.

What I remember most was his curveball broke so hard it seemed to make a hissing sound.

Almost 50 years later I can still hear it.
