Default Lefty Stewart

Lefty Stewart won 101 games across 10 MLB seasons, including 15 during Washington's pennant-winning 1933 season. That was after he nearly died in 1927 when his appendix burst while he was on a hunting trip.

Despite being told by doctors that he would never pitch again, he made a complete recovery and won 20 games for the 1930 St. Louis Browns. As Steve Carlton might point out, Stewart's feat of winning 20 games for the 1930 Browns is even more impressive than it sounds, considering the Browns that year finished with a record of 64-90.
