Atlanta Braves, New York Mets, San Francisco Giants – Warren Spahn, LHP.
For Spahn it wasn’t the overall season that establishes him as one of the greatest MLB players, but it’s his individual games that tell the story. For four years in a row, Warren powerfully lead the National League in strikeouts – 18 strikeouts in a 15-inning game against the Chicago, Cubs is just one example of his accomplishment. However, Warren didn’t get his first win until the age of 25. But hey, since when did age become a factor in baseball?
