Four More Years, The Term of Pitching Greatness

While greatness is measured over an entire career, there is also a peak period inwhich the true greats reign as the greatest of all.  For great pitchers, that time period appears to be about the same as a presidential term - 4 years.  Below are 4 pitchers who definately represent greatness and the 4 years inwhich they were the greatest.  Notice how the keynote of "Manifestation" apears in their Human Design body graphs.  The natal charts can be enlarged by clicking  on them.
