Bert Blyleven

Bert Blyleven about to release Uncle Charlie

Bert "Be Home" Blyleven is the #2 starter for the Minnesota Twins in the NES version of RBI. Bert has the best stamina of any pitcher on the NES version. His stamina along with a good curve ball and a decent drop pitch makes Bert on of the stronger pitchers in the game. He should be a HoFer in real life, but the HoF voters suck ass...
