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_[email protected] ...

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.

#1947League preview: BRAVES vs. PIRATES
Boston, winner of 7 straight, is the hottest team in the league at the moment; they send Warren Spahn (6-7, 3.52) to the mound to face Luis E. Tiant (8-7, 2.95). Pirates aiming to halt a 4-game losing streak.
2 teams headed in opposite directions.

SPAHN SHUTS DOWN TIANT, PIRATES
Braves keep right on rolling as Spahn evens his record at 8-8 with a two-hit shutout. Boston has won eight in a row. Tiant's quality start goes to waste.
BOSB(42-36) 350
PIT(36-42) 020

Did Luis Tiant ever win a #WorldSeries?
Of course he did.
Your job: Tell me which one.
One guess only, please.

You are correct, sir!
Luis E. Tiant (father of the Boston Red Sox star) was a standout pitcher for the #WorldSeries champion 1947 New York Cubans.
