Tino. On ESPN baseball game of the week several years back, Griffey Jr. was clocked at 95 mph, McGwire was clocked at 100. It was said in sports illustrated a couple of issues ago that Josh Hamilton's was between 110 and 115.

   All My Roudy Friends
   Take Me Out to the Ballgame
   I Wish I was in Dixie
   Hail to the Chief
