Examine 1973. As a kid I was shattered. Felt rightfully robbed.

Ryan: New single season strikeout record of 383, eclipsing Koufax. Not one, but TWO no-hitters. ERA 2.87 Won 21 games for the Angels who had team win pct. of .488 Also pitched 26 complete games. Would have closed in on 30 Wins if with Baltimore.

Palmer: won 22 games for media darling Orioles with team win pct. of almost .600 No strikeout record. ERA 2.40 No no-hitters. Only 19 complete games.

Palmer won Cy Young ???? Kind of stuff of which Twilight Zone episodes are made.
