    Born on this date in 1969, this future Hall of Famer gave up just 71 homers in 1,283 2/3 career innings, yet won only 82 games.

    Good Going Cage, Yes your answers are correct. #2's answer is "NONE", and #3 for more info is: Warren Spahn (18 in 253 plate appearances)

    Kudos to ya'.....:tiphat:

    On this one I'm going to take a wild guess by saying NONE. Because as great as Juan Marichal was I know he never won a Cy Young. Always getting beat out by guys like Koufax & Gibson.

    Just thought I'd alter the font, to a bigger size. Cuz if your like me, I can't find or see; a damn thing right in front of my face. If one want's to successfully hide anything from me, ie Kim, all they/She have to do, is put it right in front of my face, under the nose.....

    Manifesto of the Week-

    In 1979, I saw Neil Young perform his greatest hits, then break into "Live Rust" and "Rust Never Sleeps".....

    The 405 Freeway, passes right over the top of Mulholland. One could see flames from 20 miles out, to the Pacific.
    On that fateful night/week, the Mulholland and Malibu Hills, Zuma included were burning unlike I've ever witnessed. The 405 Golden State freeway was closed right after we passed thru, while the Fire jumped over the Freeway moments later, on the way to the Forum.

    As Young took the stage, his first words were: "I don't even know If I have a home to go home to, so were going to play all night", and that he did. He played as if not only His house were on fire, but His hair also....!

    Robert Hilburn the LA Times Music Review Guru, stated after Neils concert at the Forum, (which was louder than any outdoor Concert I've been to); "people who were at Young's concert will be standing in lines miles long at the Doctor's to get a hearing test for deafness".

    My buddy and I, like everyone else, had Vertigo so bad, we walked as if we were drunk, as did everyone else, what a sight, to see 20,000 fans bouncing off of each other, as well as cars, because no one could walk straight: effected by severe LOUD Music. Young's Master Engineer Recording Board was right in front of us, and turned up quit loud so His Acoustic Sets could be heard well. A short intermission followed by literally 100 either midgets or kids, in Ewok Suits, walked in straight lines, to bring out Neils Electric Guitars and foot switches. Then the Master Board, was turned up all the fkn way, until our teeth rattled, then Young broke into his Iconic Electric Sets.

    By then I had seen over 90+ concerts, from small nightclubs to Anaheim Stadium, the Forum. Never since have I heard any Concert with Sound so soooo loud........

    Fini~
