You remember Street Fighter, right? No, not the horrible, horrible movie with Jean-Claude Van Damme and Kylie Minogue (yes, that Kylie Minogue). We’re talking about the video game sensation that swept the nation. As kids, we would literally walk for miles with a pocket full of quarters to the nearest gas station just to play. We always got beaten up and had our change taken once we got there, but at least we got to watch the high school kids play. Turns out, Uncoached had a similar love for the game and now, all these years later, they found a connection between the MLB and Street Fighter: Pitchers. See what you think about these comparisons.
CC Sabathia = E Honda
Josh Beckett = Ryu
Curt Schilling = Ken
Ben Sheets = Guile
Rich Harden = Chun Li
Randy Johnson = Dhalsim
Carlos Zambrano = Blanka
Joba Chamberlain = Zangief
Roy Halladay = Sagat
Johan Santana = Vega
Shawn Chacon = Barlog
Roger Clemens = M. Bison
Sorry, Curt, we know this is about pitchers and all, but Owen Wilson will always be our Ken.
