Harry Coveleski....the "Giants Killer"
iggyman
You've got it.....Harry and Stan Coveleski were the first brother's act to each win 20 games in a season. Harry had three 20+ win
seasons. Stan had four 20+ win seasons. And, pitching for Washington in 1925, Stan won 20 games (he had a slightly better year
than Walter Johnson).
Yes, I read that in the "Glory Of Their Times" about Harry single-handedly beating McGraw's gang. His 3rd victory over the Giants
that Sept of '08, was against Mathewson.
Thanks guy....great answer, great post.
