I suggest Warren Spahn, whose career was not interrupted in the middle, but just as he got to the Majors. Three full years lost including a Battle of the Bulge Purple Heart.

I may be trickier to predict what he would have done with the lost time.

Again, fascinating work - we appreciate it.

Thank you, Raymond.

Spahn would be very tricky, yet interesting. Could he have picked up 37 wins in those three seasons, and make it to 400? Maybe. He won 20 or more games 13 times, and he was a 20 game winner as early as 1947. If he'd pitched those three years, though, would he have played as long as he did?
