O/T -- Bob Welch dead at 57
I sure did enjoy watching him pitch when he was with the Dodgers and the A's. Last guy to win 27 games. He was a hell of a pitcher for a few years. RIP Bob.

Those late 80's/early 90's A's teams were my favorite as a kid and the reason I'm an A's fan. My brother is named Welch so he was one of my favorite.

The other Bob Welch (Fleetwood Mac) died only a couple of years ago too.

I Won with Bob
I remember his Cy Young season fondly, as I had Canseco and Welch on my fantasy baseball team that year...i ran away with it!
So Bob Welch always was a favorite. I haven't read the story yet, he sure was young (just 5 years older than me!) What was the cause? RIP- Mr.Welch

I know that winning percentage is not a great indicator of the relative quality of pitchers, but did you know that Welch's winning percentage is higher than several hall of famers including Bob Gibson and Steve Carlton?

Remember him in mind as a Dodger winning against my Braves. Did not know that former Mac, had passed away, until saw you post this. His music from 70's is one stuck in my head

Bob Gibson 0.5905882352941176 Steve Carlton 0.5741710296684119 I appreciate precision and accuracy in my data, but have never calculated winning percentage to 16 decimal places, when 4 places is sufficient to differentiate between two seemingly tied individuals. I also appreciate consistency so I would add the following corrected complete game data. Welch 61.0000000000000000 Gibson 255.0000000000000000 Carlton 254.0000000000000000  FRANK:BUR:KETT - ALMOST OLD ENOUGH TO BE ON A PREWAR CARD. 518/1000 Monster Number --- WHAT'S YOUR MONSTER NUMBER?

It's not likely we will ever see another 27-game winner. He was a really good pitcher.
