We may have a winnah.

Sabathia is closer to 350 than he is 290. I love that they keep listing him at that weight.

Sabathia is well over 300. I sat behind the Yankee dugout when they play at Detroit. CC labored to get to and from the mound and he had a roll of fat behind his neck. Suprised the Yanks did not put a weight clause in his new deal.

And Colon hasn't seen 265 since his rookie year.

To answer the question, this has to be the record for fatties matching up on the bump.

Unless Rick Reuschel dueled Mark Mangino in the minor leagues.

Did Charlie Kerfeld and Terry Forster ever battle?

How about most combined weight ... pitcher vs. batter? Sabathia vs. Fielder last night HAS to be Top-3 at least.

I have bad eyes and across the room I once ID'd CC on a tiny screen TV.

It was like the sun was blotted out by giant pinstripes.

Circa 2006-2007, Dodgers' Jonathan Broxton (listed 300 lbs) vs Reds' Adam Dunn (listed 285 lbs). They're both in the AL now, so they may have squared off this year.
