        I remember seeing an interview with Mays where he talked about what it was like for the Giants to play the Dodgers in the early '60s. It always seemed to be Drysdale and Koufax. “Don’t you guys have anyone else?”

            (Honor system, no looking stuff up!)

            P Joe Black won Rookie of the Year honors in 1952. This was long before WAR, of course.

            We could come close, though.

            Add his '52 Ws to his SVs.

            What’s the total?

            1 guess. 1st answer within 5 wins.

                SOOO close but not within 5!

                Wish I could give it to you but League officials are sticklers, @ted_duffield@mastodon.social …

                  I think that we can get this first time through the order.

                  35?

                    Just in under the wire! Joe Black, purportedly a normal human being, somehow became a demigod in 1952, winning 15 games for the Brooklyn Dodgers and saving 15 more.

                    He also had an era of 2.15, and only missed winning the ERA championship because he was 8 innings short for qualification.
