Jack Morris? How about Guidry and Viola?
I LOVE this:
So Morris had those 162 wins in the ten years from 1980 to 1989. Frank Viola had 163 in the ten years from 1984 to 1993, and Ron Guidry had 163 from 1977 to 1986. So if you think Morris belongs in the Hall of Fame (and assuming you agree with the rest of the world that those other two guys don’t), you’re not only giving Morris credit for getting to play with Trammell and Whitaker and Lemon and Evans, you’re also giving him credit for happening to do most of his best work in years with the same number in the tens place.
