I'm sure this isn't very hard, but it does underscore the point; Don't get carried away with early success, especially with a pitcher.

I had 107 wins, 127 Complete Games, 1,233 Ks, Top 3 in MVP voting three straight seasons in which I also led the league in wins and strikeouts.

Then, I gave it all up...for a noble cause...
