Clip of the Day

Warren Spahn played all but one of his 21 season career with the Boston/Milwaukee Braves, winning at least 20 games in 13 of those seasons. He won a total of 363 games in his career, the most ever for a left-handed pitcher. Spahn won the Cy Young Award in 1957 when he was 21-11, which was the 2nd of a streak of six consecutive remarkably consistent seasons in which he won 20 to 22 games. But perhaps his most memorable season was when he won 23 games with an ERA of 2.60 at 42 years of age in 1963. Warren Spahn was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1973.
