Making Beautiful Moosic: Kei Igawa Becomes All-Time K leader in Scranton-Wilkes Barre

With a couple more "Kei"s over the weekend, the Iguana overtook Ryan Nye ("The Pitching Science Guy") to become the all-time greatest strikeout artist in the history of Scranton-Wilkes Barre. He now stands at 318, en route to the magical 400 whiffs that would put his name on the billowing lips of every Bidentown rooter.

He is already the all-time Scranton-Wilkes Barre leader in wins. Next up, innings pitched.

Sadly, he is no longer keeping up his once-cool blog. (Actually, it was probably taken down by MLB copyright lawyers.)

Sounds like Kei is a sure thing, first ballot inductee into the Scranton/WB hall of fame.

I guess that will bring some humility to those who criticized the Yankees for investing a total of $51 million in this pitcher.

Cashman, in the long run, really knows talent.

That decides it for me. I'm voting for him for employee of the month and I encourage everyone else to do so as well. You wouldn't want Swisher or Cervelli to win and then have a freak haircut accident.

Cash knows you can't put a price tag on a solid, long-term investment in your Scranton/Wilkes Barre rotation. Kei's record speaks for itself.
