Last MLB Team To Have Three Pitchers With 18 Wins?

[EvanJ]

What was the last MLB team to have three pitchers with at least 18 wins each (if it has ever happened)? The Yankees have a chance to do that this year. Last year no team even had two pitchers with 18 wins.

I remember the Orioles in 1971 (I think) had 4 twenty game winners. Palmer, Cuellar, Dobson and McNally.

And didn`t win the WS.

And didn`t win the WS.

The '93 Braves had Maddux (20), Glavine (22), and Avery (18). I don't know if anyone's done it since.

The '98 Braves had four guys with at least 17 wins (Maddux, Glavine, Millwood, Smoltz); Neagle had 16 that year, as well.

Seattle also came close in '01, with Moyer (20), Garcia (18), and Abbott (17), as did Oakland with Mulder (21), Hudson (18), and Zito (17).

And, of course, none of those teams even made it to the World Series.

Too lazy at this point to look any further... sorry....

They don't make pitching staffs like that anymore.

Would that then be considered a good omen or bad Jacques?

Remember the Quake World Series of 1989? The Oakland A's had three pitchers with 18+ that season.

It's been done many times Evan, but mostly over 75 years ago.

In 1907 the Tigers had 4 at 18+. Didn't help them though. When the Tigers couldn't win a game in the World Series.

Doesn't always mean you'll have a winning team either. An example: 1909 the Cubs had three ... and didn't win the NL crown. The New York Giants had three also but still finished third in the NL.

[Dave Visbeck]

When Babe Ruth won his first two World Series, he was pitching with the Red Sox during those 1915 and 1916 World Championship seasons. Both seasons he was one of three who won 18+

[Dave Visbeck]

In fact Evan, before Ruth was around ... in the first two Boston World Championship seasons, both had three 18+ winners in 1903 and 1912.

[Dave Visbeck]

The Cincinnati Reds team that won the year of the Black Sox scandal in 1919 ... the Reds had three 18+ winners in a just a 140 game season.

And in even less games, the Cub team of 1918 that lost the World Series to the Red Sox had three 18+ winners in a war shortened season where they won 84 games, lost 45 and tied 2. 129 decided games.

I take it you're a Yankee fan Evan? Speaking of the Yankees ... they've done it before of course. Kind of hard not to with all the games the team has won over the years.

The first time the Yankees ever had three 18+ winners though, was in the first year Ruth played in New York after he was bought from the Red Sox.

One of the three pitchers that had 18+ wins was someone that also was a part of the 1916 trio that won 18+ for the Red Sox that included Ruth .. and that pitcher was Carl Mays who led the Yankees with 26 wins in the Yankees third place finish in the American League in 1920.

[Dave Visbeck]

The first time the Yankees won the American League Championship in 1921, Mays was again part of a Yankee trio with 18+ wins, leading the American League with 27 wins. A new face was a part of the trio of 1921, 19-game winner Waite Hoyt ... formerly of the 1920 Red Sox pitching staff.

[Dave Visbeck]

The third time that the Yankees had three 18+ winners was 1922. Hoyt had 19 wins, but was third on the team in wins behind Bob Shawkey with 20 ... and another new pitcher acquired from the 1921 Boston Red Sox, Bullet Joe Bush, who had 26 wins.

Then EvanJ, the fourth time the Yankees had three 18+ winners was 1923 ... the year of the Yankees first World Championship. Former Red Sox World Series Champion pitcher Sad Sam Jones, acquired from the Red Sox after the 1921 season ... led the Yankees with 21 wins. Former Red Sox World Championship pitcher Bullet Joe Bush contributed 19 wins, and the newest former Red Sox pitcher that partook in the Red Sox World Championship seasons of 1915 and 1916 but had no regular season wins during that time,(but did have two losses) Herb Pennock, acquired after the 1922 season from the Red Sox, had a new career-high 19 wins a in 1923 for the Yankees. Former Red Sox World Championship's pitching ace, twice mentioned before as a trio 18+ game winning pitcher member with Boston, outfielder Babe Ruth was the MVP of the AL in the Yankees first World Championship season. A Red Sox tie-in for the Yankees first.

Now comes the clincher for the Yankees I believe. The last time any Yankee team had three 18+ game winning pitchers in a season, came a little later ... with a pleasant twist for Yankee fans.

In 1927... the Yankees had four 18+ winners. Hoyt with 22, Pennock and Wilcy Moore with 19, and Urban Shocker with 18.

Dave,

I see you changed your red (for Red Sox, I suppose) highlighting to blue (for what all Sox fans are feeling). Tomorrow you can change it to green (for the envy Sox fans feel of the Yanks and how their GM goes out and gets the players he needs (Abreau and Lidle).

Stay sane
