    AJ Burnett clocked 103 on a questionable radar gun in Pittsburgh this season. And Bobby Jenks routinely hit 100 during the World Series.

    You are forgetting one of the greatest: Sany Koufax was clocked on several occasions at over 100.

    C.C. Sabathia and Billy Wagner are 2 others, although I'm sure there are more you're forgetting as well.
