Damn.  I knew he had a stretch around then.  Was hoping it bled into the 1930s.

Damn.  My knowledge of '30s-'50s fast HOFers is lacking here.

Medwick?

Earle Combs?

If it's not them, I think I'm out of guesses.

This is Mike Mussina.  I saw this a couple days ago.

Dude doesn't get NEARLY enough credit for how good a pitcher he was.

Question #95:

Which is the only OTHER Hall of Fame pitcher to win 20+ games in his final season on an active roster?

Hint: He's also top-10 in no-hitters.
