I tried one a couple pages back that was intended for math junkies but maybe unfair. I'll rack my brain for a more appropriate question.

If I'm permitted to answer, my answer would be Carroll Hardy. I still have an unanswered question and hint pending on this thread.


Note also that this thread has exceeded 1000 views in less than 58 hours. I wonder what the record is for this milestone.

Mr. Musial is in the Hall, he had more home runs than strikeouts in both 1943 and 1948.



What major league pitcher has the most career wins among those pitchers who DID NOT ever win the Cy Young Award?

I am looking for two players who:

Were born in the same year,
Played the same position,
Played for and achieved their success with the same team,
and both made it to Cooperstown (not in the same year)
but never played in the same game, and in fact they were never even teammates.

Look at the first line again and post images of these two players.
