The 1982 NL Cy Young went to Atlanta's very own John Fulgham. In 33 games started, he won 23, and only lost 2 with a 1.69 era This Brave announcer is beginning to think the Back to Back Brave Cy Young winners might also have something to do with Skipper hiring Leo Mazzone back in 79. Unfortunately for Fulgham, he didn't get a WS ring to go with his CY like Seaver did in 81. When searching for the pic of Fulgham I noticed a google searcg which brought up an reported 39 pitch shutout by him, which is a fun story to read. www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/bird-land-the-fulgham-riddle/article_23242aa6-b1fa-11df-84ab-0017a4a78c22.htmlbut equally impressive in the story was and the #1 rock song of 82.... had forgotten about this beauty of a video lol

Surprised you haven’t written an article about Warren Spahn’s dominance in the 50s yet.

the reality is though, I didn't notice I won 3 straight CY until last season, I thought I had mentioned this, however... maybe you forgot

I never thought articles from previous seasons would make sense for timing but I guess it’s ok to do lol

Congrats! Yep, would have won 4 but the school for the blind figured out I could actually see and I was kicked off the team. But those three seasons I was unhittable... as were the other pitchers, but I had way fewer walks
