I only had 6 career wins at age 29...yet later became one of the most dominant pitchers of my era...up to that point I started 11 games in my career.

Mike Cuellar

bingo...the post season grand slam gave it away I realize

What a strange career though...6 career wins up til age 28 and then at age 32 is one of the games best pitchers...pitching coach guru of the time George Bamburger played a huge part in Cuellar's late development.

Not really. It's always a good idea when you pose these questions to figure that the player spent time with the Orioles. My first inclination was Dave McNally because I recall him hitting a post season GS. However, I was pretty sure he didn't get things going that late in his career. I knew it couldn't be Jim Palmer since he won many games at an early age. The next logical choice was someone else from that dominating staff of the early seventies. At that point, Cuellar was the candidate and after looking up his stats he was the answer.
