Ferguson Jenkins
1965-1977 New York Yankees
1977-1978 Boston Red Sox
1978 Pittsburgh Pirates
Jenkins had an average career. Keep in mind that he started his career before they 3rd patch came out. So pitchers careers were usually shorter. The patch came out near the end of his career.
He had a record of 182-182. Career ERA of 3.51. He won 0 pennants. He was selected to the all-star game 4 times. The most games he ever won in a season was 21...only time he ever reached 21 ones.
Steve Carlton
1966-1974 Chicago Cubs
1975-1982 New York Yankees
Career records for Carlton was 220-222. He had a similar career to Jenkins...slightly longer. Career ERA of 3.45. Struck out 3,017. He won 20 games twice.
Won 4 pennants with the Cubs
69 won series
71 lost series
73 won series
74 won series
All star selection 5 times.
Richie Allen
I'm not finding him in my list of retired players. What I am guessing is he development messed up or he had a career ending injury in the minors. I have players deleted who never reached the majors.
Willie Horton
1964-1966
I'm 1967 his ratings just dropped like crazy, and never recovered. Hit 21 homeruns in 65 though..
ps - I got my Honus Wagner book at Barnes and Noble. I'm guessing you can find it on amazon too.
"Honus Wagner on his life and baseball" by Cobb
