I still cannot stump you....Johnny was a very effective Pitching Coach after his
playing years. Johnny was the Yankees coach during their 1961 to 1963 World
Championship years. And was major factor in the Twins' Pennant winning year
of 1965. Then, he went to Detroit and helped them become the Champs in '68.

Finally, Sain went to the White Sox in the early 1970's and Goose Gossage (in
his book) "glowingly" credits Sain for making him into an effective pitcher. Be-
fore Sain became his coach, Gossage admitted he was just a "power thrower".
