Not long term arrangements, mind you, but for a single season two of my favorites would be:

Larry Corcoran & Fred Goldsmith - 1880 Chicago White Stockings (you can thank me later, Mr. Dreker)

Ed Seward & Gus Weyhing - 1888 Philadelphia Athletics

And don't crucify me for the modern day reference, but in 2001 Schilling and Johnson weren't too shabby for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Ace of spades and hearts are my favorite.

Speaking of aces I was playing holdem yesterday, on line, small tourney and two players had pocket aces. Flop was three diamonds. I bet you can guess the rest of this story

Just two quality years together but inextricably linked.

They don't get much ink, but how about Paul Derringer and Bucky Walter? If Johnny Vandemeer didn't get untracked, the Reds' rotation in '39 and '40 might have been one of the best ever. Even without Vandemeer, they still won two pennants and the title in '40, very much the same way the D-Backs did with Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling carrying the team ...

here's a kind of obscure dual ace combo but what a year! 1939 led reds to pennant. hard to top these two.

Bucky Walters 36 31 319.0 27-11 2.29
Paul Derringer 35 28 301.0 25-7 2.93

The wife of one of my best friends and neighbors, is best friends with Jerry Koosmans ex wife. They are attached at the hip. Many interesting stories. Jerry's ex is very nice. Many fun times sitting around the camp fire shooting the breeze with her. She is not a big fan of Jerry.

Barry, I was gonna say Seaver and Koosman. Peter, Ryan was a reliever for the Mets. He didn't start often.

Koosman grew a few miles from the farm where my mom grew up. He still has lots of family in the area around Appleton and Holloway, MN. If anyone besides my brother knows where Holloway is, then you are a true Minnesotan. I'd include Appleton, but there have a maximum security prison there now, so not completely off the radar anymore.

How about Blyleven and Viola with Reardon coming out of the pen.

Jay is correct- Ryan had minimal impact as a Met.

When the Mets made the worst trade in history and sent him to California in 1972 for Jim Fregosi, he first blossomed into a great pitcher.

Edited to add as a lifetime Giants fan, how could I forget Marichal and Perry. In 1966, Perry was 20-2 in August, then lost six straight games and finished 21-8. What a heartbreaker that losing streak was.

For one year, Santana and Liriano. Check the incredible stats if you don't believe me. Santana won the Cy Young and Liriano was the better of the two, for one year at least.

Barry, I had no idea about how Perry's '66 ended but I guess he had a history of that. In 1974 he got off to a 15-1, 1.24 start and ended up at 21-13, 2.52.

For one season dominance by teammates it would be hard to top Newhouser and Trout in 1944:

Newhouser 29-9, 2.22

Trout 27-14, 212

Of course, it was the middle of the War so the competition was a bit watered down.

Howard- I remember 1966 very well. That was the year I thought the Giants would finally overtake the Dodgers, but it didn't happen. Then when Koufax retired that year I felt for sure the Giants would coast in '67, but that didn't happen either.

And in 2002 they led the World Series 3 games to 2, and had a 5-0 lead in the 8th inning of game six. Well, that too never happened.

I'm still waiting.

Barry as a diehard mets follower I agree that the Nolan Ryan for Fregosi trade was one of the worst but IMO Ryan would have never blossomed with the Mets. After 5 years he only showed glimpses of greatness and he would have always been in Seavers shadow and to a lesser extent Koosman's. Also his wife Ruth felt very uncomfortable in NY. I don't fault the Mets for trading Ryan but they should have got much more than a shortstop who was over the hill and being moved to a new position. I wonder if Ryan would have been a HOFER if he was not traded. CN

Jim, I grew up an LA Dodgers fan in the 70s. Beyond Sutton and John you had Hooton, Rhoden and Rau. What a starting pitching staff they had, always led the league in ERA.

Dave Stewart

Bob Welch

Oakland A's late 80s early 90s duo. I think Welch won 27 one year as Stewart won 22 or 23. It drove me cazy as a Dodger fan to see these 2 dominant pitchers escape the Dodger blue grasp..

McNally, Cuellar, Palmer and Dobson all won 20 for the '71 Orioles. It just don't get any better than that.

Spahn and Burdette were terrific together for a long time in Milwaukee.

They Won 70% of the 92 games NY won that season. Can't beat this "duo" for a single-season
