Sure, over the season he let up 20 HR's, as well as surpassing our late Robin Roberts for most career HR's allowed, but that's just a blemish in how well he performed this year and is more of a testament to his time. There are few players that can withstand the test of time in this era of baseball like he did. Take a look at some of the things he did this year:
- Oldest pitcher to defeat the Yankees.
- Eighth pitcher to start a game in four decades. (Accompanied with a shutout in each.)
- Sixth oldest pitcher to start a game.
- Oldest pitcher to throw a shutout.
Remarkable. His passion and talent for the game transcends our normal expectations and is a fine example of the love of baseball.
