Watching a ball game tonight and the announcers came up with this one.


Name the 4 pitchers with more than 3000 strikeouts with fewer than 1000 walks.

No googling.

You are right Tom. The announcers were wrong. They did not say anything about being retired.

So there are 5.

Anybody get the last one?

Both mine were misses, though Gibson only walked about 1300

aha...I checked it out and when I saw the list of 3000+ Ks, I knew immediately

Stratomatic advertising back in the early 70s would use him as an example of how accurate their results were

"He'll exhibit pinpoint control, while giving up higher than average amount of gopher balls"

Did you play Stratomatic in the old days, barman?

Man I loved that game.

BIG HINT

The last player was a teammate of one of the other 4 players.

He also wore the same number for the team.

He also is 2nd in home runs allowed.

OAKAS, I started at age 10 in 1970 and played through high school.

Then picked it up again in late 80s for about ten years with adult H2H league in Dallas.

There's still a fairly strong tournament circuit that hits about 25 cities a year leading up to a couple of weekend tourneys with upwards of $10,000 in handle.

The last guy had very good success in both AL and NL, winning over 100 games in both leagues
