Jim Kaat

Jim Perry

Yes Jim Kaat by a pretty large Margin and second winningest pitcher in Franchise history surpassing all Washington Sentators besides Johnson. Came up just short of 200 Career wins. Blylevin, Perry, Viola all over a hundred wins and in the top ten.

Excuse me. It wasn't Kaat. He got some of his franchise wins as a Senator. Recalculating for correct answer.
Also Kaat had 283 total wins but 190 for our franchise.
OK it was Kaat. He wasn't a regular starter for the team until it became the Twins.
LOL he pitched for the Senators 2 seasons accumulating a grand total of 1 win. So 189 wins in a Twins uniform.

Radke fourth with 148 wins just one behind Blylevin in third 149 wins. I would have thought Blylevin would have had a bigger margin over Radke and I would have been wrong.

How did Cy Young win 500 games. That's 17 years of 30 wins a year.

Yes it was. That was an incredible year for Pitchers with McLain and Bob Gibson. I believe they raised the pitchers mound that year. It was also the first year I paid any attention to MLB. What about my bonus question.
I predict yes sometime in the next 50 years.

Inducted into hall of fame in 1937 but only named on 153/201 ballots. Only 76%. If what he did wasn't long and meritorious I don't know what is. How could anybody leave him off the ballot?

That's it. The mound was lowered because pitchers were too dominant. Yastrzemski won the batting title that year with a batting average of 301. The only player in the American league to bat over .300
that year with enough plate appearances to qualify.

Yaz was a special player. The year before, he won the Triple Crown with 44 Home runs, 121 RBI and a .326 average. Killebrew matched him in HR. He came up 1 vote short of being a unanimous MVP. Long time Twin fans might remember who got the other vote?

Zoilo Versailes? Just a wild guess off the top of my head. I don't even know if i am spelling the name right or if he was still with the Twins.

Amazing that the Red Sox essentially had 2 LF from 1939 to 1983. Ted Williams and Yaz. Except for those 3 years Williams was a fighter pilot in WWII.
