I thank God to this day that I didn't hit him. It probably would have broken his jaw.
"Dickie Ray Noles" was a pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs, Texas Rangers (baseball)/Texas Rangers, Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers, and Baltimore Orioles. Today Dickie Noles is a born-again Christian and works for the Philadelphia Phillies.
Noles was an effective relief pitcher for the Phillies' 1980 World Series championship team. In Game 4 of that series, Noles came on in relief of Larry Christenson in the first inning with only one out and the Phillies down 4–0 to the Kansas City Royals. Noles pitched the next 4 innings and gave up another run, but is most remembered for throwing a fastball under George Brett (baseball)/George Brett's chin in the fourth inning that prompted a warning by the umpires to both teams. Brett struck out in the at-bat and had only three singles and one RBI the remainder of the series. The brushback pitch/brushback incident is looked upon as the turning point in that series for the Phillies.
More Dickie Noles on Wikipedia.I disagree with that. We had the best left-hander in the history of baseball (Steve Carlton) pitching in Game 6 and they weren't going to win.
