I'll cheat a bit and invoke the ghost of John Fulgham. 10-6 with a 2.53 ERA (151 +) 1.021 WHIP, and 75:26 K:BB in 146 IP in his rookie year 1979.
4-6 in 1980 before his shoulder crapped out and that was it.
Fulgham seems to be my alter-ego. We share the same birthday and went to the same high school. Then last year when someone posted a thread about seeing which Cardinals present or past wear the same number as your current age, I looked up Fulgham, and lo and behold, it matched. Eerie...
small piece of trivia: Fulgham won 14 games in his 1.5 year career, all complete games.

How about Gene Garber? I adopted his spin-around corkscrew pitching motion. Using it, I beaned 2 batters and hit a third on a pick-off attempt in one inning once.
Quote:
His most effective pitch was a change-up, which he effectively delivered from an unusual, herky-jerky motion in which he would almost completely turn his back to the batter before delivering the ball in a side-arm, "submarine-style" manner.
