How many different African-American pitchers have had 20 win seasons?

Max Power · 01-19-2003, 09:30 PM

Not counting black latin players, I'll say 10.

I'm not counting black latin players, and it's not 10

YankeeLinks · 01-19-2003, 09:35 PM

I just realized I should ask for their names. Otherwise, there will just a bunch of numbers guessed.

hmrsf · 01-19-2003, 09:37 PM

Dave Stewart is one

hmrsf · 01-19-2003, 09:44 PM

Gibson is another.

YankeeLinks · 01-19-2003, 10:17 PM

Obviously Gibby & Stew are correct. There are still quite a few more

Ferguson Jenkins
Bob Gibson
Dave Stewart
Don Newcombe
Vida Blue
Al Downing
Dwight Gooden
Mudcat Grant
Earl Wilson
J.R. Richard
Mike Norris
Larry Jackson

Is 12 the answer?

YankeeLinks · 01-19-2003, 11:10 PM

12 is the answer, but Larry Jackson isn't one of them.

Not to be facetious but isn't Fergie Jenkins Afro-Canadian?

YankeeLinks · 01-19-2003, 11:25 PM

He is, but he's also African-North American.

Anyway, I was trying to be PC and not say "black" pitchers.

LeGrandOrange · 01-19-2003, 11:55 PM

Understood, I just wanted to harp on that point because I felt like it.

Is Toothpick Sam Jones the other?

YankeeLinks · 01-20-2003, 12:08 AM

You got it, LGO. Sad Sam is the last one.

You'll enjoy looking at Mudcat Grant's website, where he has a little bio on each of them, whom he calls the 12 Black Aces:

That's exactly where I looked to find the 12th guy.

Great minds think alike.
