Well, Don Sutton might qualify.....but I can't believe he would have only had 1 season with over 200 K's.

Well, one I am thinking about is Bert Blyleven, but I'm sure he had more than one season of over 200 K's.

So, I scoured the HOF list using the 1960 clue..............I'm going to take a shot at Greg Maddux

Yep!

Strike shortened years got him 2x....would’ve had a couple 22 win seasons likely and had 199, 198, 197 K......5x won 19, stuck on 20

Was decent though

Is it OK to look at the hall of fame list of names for answer ideas, or is that kinda not legit?

He went 19-19 with 29 CG for the Tribe and was responsible for winning 27% of the teams games.

Then his arm fell off and he retired correct?

Good lord.  No wonder he threw a spitball.  I'd be looking to get myself suspended too, just for the arm rest.  ;)

Based on that clue, I’m going with Robin Roberts.
