Perry had a lot of good years abut had a lot of pretty average years as well.
I was just looking at pure numbers standpoint.

Interesting stat on Drysdale. In 1965 he hit .300 with 7 HR's and 19 RBI's in 130 ab's. The team leader in HR's that season hit 12 and drysdale hit only 1 fewer HR than the starting 1st baseman, catcher, 2 less than the right fielder, and 3 more than the 3rd baseman. The Dodgers won the World series that year.


In his other 14 seasons he hit over .200 only once (1958) when he hit .227 with 7 HR's. He was a lifetime .186 hitter.

Just another Cleveland sob story. Of course a native Clevelander, Steinbrenner was sure he had the Indians bought in 1971, but then owner Vernon Stouffer made a last second behind the scenes sale to Nick Miletti. Two years later Steinbrenner bought the Yankees for over a million dollars less than what the Indians were sold for two years earlier. What could have been!!

With Cleveland's luck, they would have traded for Mark Fidrych and signed JR Richard to a long-term deal, leaving Steinbrenner and the team in ruins by 1983. Things happen for a reason, I suppose.

Who is in the booth with Keith Jackson and Howard Cosell calling the ALCS game that is on Classic right now?

*Edit* It's Reggie Jackson.
