[edit] cleanup

Massive cleanup needed, very poorly written!

Al deserves better than this. Aside from the organizational issues, this article focuses excessively on Al's last gasps as a pro. More needs to be said about the great stuff and ace status Leiter used to enjoy. A casual reader would have no idea how this player won 162 games or anchored the Mets' staff from 1998-2004. A good place to start would be Leiter's early "elite prospect" status with the Yankees, his early injury woes with Toronto, and his emergence with Florida.

Information about Al's career and recent retirement is still all over the internet, so this wouldn't take too much effort to research.

[edit] Repetoire

What pitches did Al Leiter throw while he was with the Jays in the early 90s? I would greatly appreciate the repetoire as well as the velocities and (if possible) the pitch trajectory.-Dylan Bradbury 23:00, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
