8 seasons leading the league in wins
363 wins is fifth All-Time in MLB
63 shutouts is #6 All-Time" in MLB
Two no-hitters thrown AFTER age 39
Lifetime ERA was a solid 3.09
Cy Young in 1957
Sporting News Pitcher of the Year 4 times 1953, 1957, 1958, 1961
.995 Fielding Average (One of best ever in the MLB)
7 x All-Star
World Series Champion 1957

You need to double the All Star appearances to 14 lol. Plus, anyone focusing on things like strikeouts and whip need to look and see that he led the league in those categories several times. He wasn’t just some pretty good guy that could go out and rattle off pitching wins (as if that would be a bad thing).
