Any idea who had a 2.58 ERA over that same four year period? And if you include 1966 to add a fifth year this person had an ERA of 2.34 .
Any idea?
Gary Peters.
But sure. Koufax road ERA of 2.81 from 1962-1965 makes him super special.

Not a lefty, but 1964-68, Joe Horlen had a 2.32 ERA for the White Sox. There are lots of examples of guys having amazing 5-year runs.
