Last Sim's Trivia Question:

This week, the baseball world lost Don Newcombe, one of the few pitchers to win the Cy Young and MVP awards in the same season.  That season, 1956, he won 27 games. 

Due to changes in the way the game is played, it is very rare for pitchers to win more than 25 games in a season.  In fact, the last to do so was Bob Welch, almost thirty years ago.  Who knows when we'll see another 25 game winner?  This, quite literally, makes 25 game winners a dying breed.

Which leads to the question: with the passing of Don Newcombe, how many living 25+ game winners are left?  And, of course, who are they?

There are 11 living 25 game winners.  Seven of them were identified in the #random channel on Slack.  They were:

Steve Carlton

Ron Guidry

Sandy Koufax

Denny McLain

Mickey Lolich

Whitey Ford

Steve Stone

The four that were not guessed are:

Fergie Jenkins (25 wins in 1974)

Jim Kaat (25 in 1966)

Juan Marichal (25 in 1963 and 1966 and 26 in 1968)

Tom Seaver (25 in 1969)

This Sim's Trivia Question:

There are a number of people whose uniform number is retired on two teams.  However, there are two people who have their number retired by three teams (not counting Jackie Robinson, of course, whose number is retired league wide).  Who are these two people and what are the teams/numbers?

First correct answer in the #random channel on Slack gets 83 Commissioner Points.

Next sim:  Wednesday night.
