20 game winners
 
The 1971 Orioles had 4 guys who won 20 games in that year. Which team, for 3 consecutive years, had 6 pitchers who, at some point in their career, won 20 games in a season?

Don't think so...Avery and Millwood topped out at 18, but there was Denny Neagle and Russ Ortiz but I cannot recall how close they were chronologically and that would only be five altogether.

Mid 50s Indians?

The correct answer will include the team, the 3 year stretch, and the 6 pitchers in each season.

1980 Yankees had 6, I could look up the before and after years but I couldn't name them off my head.
1980: John, Kaat, Tiant, Perry, Guidry, Figueroa.
Also the answer to the trivia question name a team with four pitchers who already had 200 or more wins. I believe John won his 200th during the season.

Given who posted this, I originally suspected the Twins, but figured that wasn't possible. But I just cheated and looked up the 65 Twins and sure enough. Mudcat Grant, Jim Kaat, Camilo Pascual, Jim Merritt, Jim Perry and Dave Boswell. 66 same. 67 strike Pascual add Dean Chance.

Peter the Cheater nailed it. On a team known for hitting, with 3 1965-67 batters in the HOF (Killebrew, Oliva, Carew,) there were also some pretty good arms.

The only cheat here is realizing that most if not all of Mark’s questions have a Minnesota answer.:D:D
