One of my all time stats which comes from Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract in the early 1980’s
As of the early 1980’s Warren Spahn had more 20 win seasons than all of the New York Yankee lefties combined. Not more then all of the current Yankees, but more then all of the Yankees lefties for the entire history of the franchise.
I have always thought this stat shows both how great Spahn was and how rare great lefties are
