Now that Bartolo is retired, are there any genuine out of shape major league pitchers the likes of Bartolo or Rod Beck still in the league?  Michael Pineda might be the only one I can think of right off hand.
Lance Lynn?

The following might never have happened without the Brant Brown misplay.

The 89-73 Cubs finished the 1998 regular season 13 games behind the Houston Astros in the NL Central. 

The San Francisco Giants also finished their season 89-73.  They lost to the Colorado Rockies on the final day when Neifi Perez homered off Robb Nen leading off the ninth inning and the Colorado Rockies came back from a seven run deficit to beat the Giants 9-8.  Dusty Baker and Don Baylor were the managers.   Lots of details and quotes from that game.

The Cubs won the wild-card playoff game at Wrigley the next day.  Rod Beck earned his 51st save.

And then the Cubs were swept by the Atlanta Braves in the division series.

The Cubs-Astros game and the Giants-Rockies game ended within minutes of each other; it was like the end of the 2011 AL season.  Terry Mulholland, totally gassed, pitched his heart out for the Cubs and they took the game to extra innings but then came up short, and seconds later Neifi Perez hit his homer.

And then the next day the Cubs won a game that in today's system would be a Wild Card Game playoff and would probably be much better remembered.

If Martinez never plays for the Cubs again (and I’m sure he’s a nice guy and all, but I hope he doesn’t), he will hold the franchise record for most PA with no hits in a career by a position player (22). The previous record-holder, George Moriarty, had 18 hitless PA for the Cubs in 1903-04.

Didn't Mark Zagunis go 0 for 14 but then come back a year later and play OK?  Maybe Martinez can do that too.

YES. Very good.

(Cubs first wore numbers in 1932).
