Two of a not so Kind

BBapplepie · 03-28-2002, 09:05 PM

Name the two pitchers who won at least 13 games for
12 consecutive seasons without appearring in the post-
season during that stretch?

Duque · 03-28-2002, 09:48 PM

Phil Niekro and Fergie Jenkins?

BBapplepie · 03-28-2002, 09:51 PM

Good guesses, but no. Try again Duque

Craig S. · 03-29-2002, 11:23 AM

Ok, I think Walter Johnson is one of them, but I'm completely stumped on the other. I've been sitting here trying to think of good pitchers on bad teams all morning.

SmedIndy · 03-29-2002, 11:25 AM

Is Robin Roberts one?

heisman · 03-29-2002, 11:47 AM

Walter Johnson and Cy Young

BBapplepie · 03-29-2002, 12:32 PM

Welcome to NetShrine Craig S. & heisman
The Big Train is one of the two, the other is more recent.

No not Kid, here a hint or two. He also had 12 seasons of
double digit losses. In his last season in the bigs, he led
his team in CG's and had a ERA well under 3.

Not trying to be rude applepie, but Cy Young accomplished the feat to which you speak. He won at least 13 games from 1891-1902 (12 seasons) and then appeared in the postseason for the first time in 1903. I'll try to find the 3rd pitcher to do it here in the next couple of minutes.

Larry Jackson also achieved the feat. I hope he's the third guy. I'm sick of looking!

Craig S. · 03-30-2002, 09:12 AM

Cy Young and Kid Nichols both did it, but I thought they wouldn't count because of the fact that they accomplished the feat before there was actually a postseason.

heisman my source has Johnson & Jackson as the only two
to go 13W in 12 yrs consec w/o postseason, sorry about
that but good work on your end.
