Via Deadspin, the ineptness of their pitching staff is forcing the Colorado Rockies to resort the Eightiest of baseball tropes — the four-man rotation.

Within the story, it mentions the last team to attempt this was the 1995 Royals, featuring 1989 Rookie Star turned stellar reliever Tom “Flash” Gordon.
Bonus points if you knew current Dodger shortstop Dee Gordon is Flash’s son.
Side note: I started — but never finished — Stephen King’s “The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.”
