Default Second Trivia Question
i am a pitcher. Through the first three years of my career I was 32-48. However during the last 8 years of my career I was 120-88, albeit with a higher than 3.00 ERA. Who am I, and did I make it to the HOF? Please do not look this one up and post an answer.

My first guess is Red Ruffing as he was TERRIBLE when he first made the Majors and eventually eased into a serviceable payer later.

Rather similar to Dazzy Vance in that it took him forever to finally "get it", Vance's first quality Major League season came after turning 30 years old.

Not Ruffing or Vance. As a clue, I think most will find the answer surprising.

Another clue-The highest three salary years of this pitcher's career were his last three when he made $20,000 per annum. Prior to that, his highest salary was $12,000/yr.

Last clue-The pitcher spent his entire career with one team, had 34 career saves, and had a K/BB ratio of almost 3/1.

With 150 wins I am guessing no on the HOF. This certainly is not Koufax or Dean.
