Eddie Gaedel. Luckily, it was a short drop, and he was fine.

Mark Davis was exclusively a reliever that year. The next year long-man/spot starter....

Please refer to the "Poll: is Mariano Rivera one of the top 10 pitchers of all time?" thread.

I think you should first refer to Mark Davis' stat page. He never threw more innings after the award than the season he won the award. He also started a combined 14 games out of his next 208 appearances.

Steve Stone lost 7 games in each of 1980 and 1981. Only difference was, he won 25 one year and 4 the next. And after that, he literally was gone. A very good example of Cy Young to Sayonara.

Maris didn't do much after 61.

Physical and emotional toll of that season has to be taken into account too. Maris is only 30 years old here in 1965. He looks withered beyond his years to me:

Yea still a big drop. And he never got close to even those numbers in 62 again.

He was a long reliever and spot starter in 1990 because he bombed as the closer. In his first 15 appearances, he was 0-2 with four blown saves and a 7.24 ERA. He had just one more save in 1990 after that.

KC didn't pay $10m to a Cy Young Award-winning closer to bring him in as a long reliever and spot starter.
