| Peter, Which pitcher tied a sixty-three-year old record of Christy Mathewson’s the same year he won his franchise’s first Cy Young Award? Hint: #1 The same year he set a personal best with sixteen wins before the All-Star Game. Hint: #2 He was credited with a “Hold” as the last pitcher on the mound in the mid-summer classic just the year before. Hint: #3 He was the starting pitcher in the All-Star Game in the Cradle of Liberty in the nation’s bi-centennial year. Hint: #4 Radio broadcaster Jerry Coleman described him once on the air as “the left-hander with the Karl Marx hairdo.” Hint: #5 After his playing days, he operated a barbecue stand at Qualcomm Stadium called The All American Sports Grill. Hint: #6 He regaled the audience at SABR 49 with his take on the game. ~ D. Bruce Brown |
