UConn Men's Basketball to be Honored at Mets Game May 1

Or, as we Mets fans at the liked to call him when he was on our roster: Fat Jack Fisher.

I also recall the later 70's Palmer, Flanagan, Martinez and McGregor with Earl Weaver pitching them every 4th day. They used to roll up phenomenal innings pitched. Palmer, liked the other great pitchers of his era (Catfish Hunter) had to be jumped on early because once he got settled in they were so tough. They all had 4 pitches which could be thrown at any time.

By the late 1970's they were rolling out a five man rotation, although with off days they would on occasion bump one of the five. Steve Stone was the guy you missed.

As an Oriole fan I still hate the Mets. People don’t realize how good those 1969 Orioles were. Frank, Brooks, Boog, Cueller, McNally, Palmer, Earl etc.

I don't recall if it was 70 or 71, but back in the days when pitchers wins mattered, the O's had four 20-game winners: Palmer, McNally and Cuellar from your list, plus Rich Dotson. I don't think any other team in MLB history could claim that.

Pat Dobson.

Rich Dotson pitched for the White Sox a decade later

Pat Dobson. And they are the only team ever to have 4 - 20 game winners

Thx for correction. I knew it was something like Dotson.

How’s this for a stat. Those 1970 Orioles had 71 complete games.
