Yes! Gaylord Perry won it for Cleveland in 1972 and San Diego in 1978 – at age 40.

Great job everyone.

I always forget Perry won one with the Padres. He really was a great pitcher at his peak, not just a compiler.

The 60s Giants had Mays, McCovey, Marcihal, Perry, and lots of other solid players, and yet won only one pennant and no WS.

I would have guessed Clemens, Johnson and Pedro.

I totally spaced on Halladay and Scherzer.

I thought of Gaylord Perry, then tossed the idea thinking "No way Gaylord won 2 Cy Youngs".

He really had an under-rated career while playing for a lot of poor to mediocre teams after getting traded from the Giants.

...AND Cepeda!

They brought up two future Hall-of-Famers in consecutive years and BOTH were first basemen...
had to scramble of that one...needed both...to not accomplish what they didn't accomplish.

KOUFAX was one of the main obstacles.

and Bob Gibson. After the Giants beat the Dodgers in a playoff in 1962, the next 6 NL pennants were won by Koufax's Dodgers (3) and Gibson's Cardinals (3). They both won 2 World Series and 2 WS MVP.

Marichal's best seasons (and they were superb) coincided with Koufax's three best and then Gibson's surreal one, and he never won the Cy.

Marichal is probably the best pitcher to never win a Cy Young award or to be the best pitcher in his league for a season (though he is right there in 1969). I can't think of anyone better.
