Very odd career. Well over half his wins came during just five seasons, and he won only 22 games from age 30 on. And like Koufax, he had a number of mediocre to average years before his great streak. It's hard to attribute his success to WW II because he wasn't so great in 42 or 43 and he was nearly as good in 46 as he had been in 44 and 45.
