He was brilliant for 6 innings, and the fact he is a good hitter is remarkable to me.  And he's fast.  But you can hang one pitch in the MLB and the ball goes a long way.

his hitting as been merely good this season

going 0-3 with 2 Ks leading off didn't help the pitcher

I know about the mound height, still.  Was there a better year by any pitcher?

He even hit nearly .300 as I recall.  No, that was 1970 when he hit .303.

By WAR, post WWII:
85 Gooden
72 Carlton
97 Clemens (sooooo weird his best season was as a Blue Jay)
71 Wood
00 Pedro
68 Gibson
72 Perry
02 Unit
63 Koufax
72 Wood
73 Seaver
I guess those Maddux seasons were too low on volume
How many would guess the first pitcher showing up twice on this list would be Wilbur Wood?

Not me.

I watched him as a kid because I'm a Sox fan. Always amazed me how he could throw so damn slow and be so damn effective.

In the more than 150-year history of Major League Baseball, only one player has ever been murdered during a season. That player is Lyman "Wesley" Bostock Jr, a budding star for the Angels in the 1970s.

In his short 3 year MLB career (Twins and Angels) he batted .311 with 22 HR and 250 RBI.

Traded from the Twins with Rod Carew - this is when I started rooting for the halos and became a big Nolan Ryan fan

I'd be curious for a list of who has the most HRs in a career from the side where they hit fewer HRs

My cousin, who grew up in St. Louis, thought Ted "Simba" Simmons with the flowing mane like hair, was the greatest catcher ever
