He had a fascinating statistical career that will probably never happen again.
His first full year as a starting pitcher he went 3-21. Three and Twenty One!!. But he had 12 complete games and a 4.36 ERA. It was with the Orioles in 1954 and they finished the year 54-100.
He then had a very productive run at NYY from 1955-1959 going 45-24 with a 3.50 ERA and 7 shutouts. He pitched in 128 games with 90 starts.
He left in 1960 and went to the Kansas City Athletics, a team that went 58-96, and went 1-10 with a 5.38 ERA.
He then bounced around in his 30s between Astros, Cubs, White Sox, and Giants going 24-22 with an ERA under 4.00, mostly out of the bullpen. He pitched and won a game in the World Series in 1962 for the Giants, losing to his former Yankees.
So he finished 81-91, but he was a much better pitcher than that.
He also batted .242 with 14 HRs in 596 ABs.
When I was a kid in the 80s I had a 45rpm recording of his last inning in the perfect game.
RIP.
