2 Cy Youngs. Not three. Two. 1963 his road numbers doubled give you:

28-8 2.31 ERA 324 k

This edges out Dick Ellsworth, though it is fairly close:

22-10 2.11 ERA 185 k

1966 his road numbers doubled are:

28-8 1.96 ERA 314 k

That beats Juan Marichal but again it is somewhat close:

25-6 2.23 ERA 222 K

However

In 1965 Koufax road numbers doubled are:

14-6 2.93 ERA 198k

Marichal destroys him.

22-13 2.13 ERA 240k


So that gives him 2 Cy Youngs, 2 WS MVPs and 4 rings. And career numbers that aren't close to what they are when Chavez Ravene gets entered into the equation. Maybe a borderline HOFer because he is so likebale and people feel sorry for him having to quit at such a young age? Maybe?

Best lefty ever though? Please.
