Rediscovering J.R. Richard: The Forgotten Hero's Incredible Journey

J.R. Richard, who we can best be described as a master of velocity on the pitcher's mound, possessed a rare gift, the ability to hurl a baseball with astonishing speed!

To put this into perspective, his slider left the radar gun gasping at 98 miles per hour. But wait, there's more: his fastball, which was the main pitch in his arsenal, routinely breached the triple-digit barrier, occasionally soaring to an unbelievable 103 mph.

Unfortunately, though, J.R. fell on hard times and his once-soaring career took an abrupt nosedive. And you can’t help but wonder what went wrong.
