Yeah, Paciorek was where my mind went as well. I've never really looked in to his story, but how do you have such a formidable debut and then...nothing?

Apparently he had a back injury.

Despite his famously gaudy 1956 stat line, the Mick had a higher WAR in 57.

There's a book about Paciorek but it's really bad. It's pretty obviously an 8-page magazine article stretched, stuffed and filled to become a book.

Yogi Berra played baseball in New England under a pseudonym towards the end of the WWII. (Years ago I won a few Cranston Firesafes programs with Cusano in the lineup. Interestingly, they spelled his name differently in different programs).

Bumping my thread for a new one I just noticed -- for all his outstanding seasons including 18 wins last year, and the fact that he's been around for well over a decade, Chris Sale has only 138 lifetime wins.

He has missed significant time with injuries in his career. Still, I would have guessed a higher number for sure.

Note that surprising really, considering how starting pitchers are used these days. Jacob deGrom only had 84 wins in 3 less seasons.

Currently, there are only 20 active pitchers with 100 or more wins. Sale is actually 7th on the list.
