 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - True to form, Barry Zito had a little fun when quizzed about how he might alter his style now that he has the richest contract for a pitcher in baseball history.
"I'm just thinking of canning the curveball. Other than that, nothing major," Zito joked Friday, when his $126 million, seven-year contract with the San Francisco Giants became official.
The former AL Cy Young Award winner passed his physical Friday, the last step in the process for the star left-hander to make the move across San Francisco Bay to the Giants. He is scheduled to be formally introduced at the team's waterfront ballpark Wednesday.
