Was looking at this page when I noticed those impressive stats!

Whitey Herzog is obviously the biggest idiot of all time. How can you not win a World Series when you've got a guy like that anchoring your rotation?

Seriously. For a single pitcher to win nearly 4,000 games in 6 years, it must take skill to lose the World Series like that.

#1 reason why wiki is a joke when it comes to serious research.

By the way, I updated the stats to what Baseball-Reference has for him.

[Ryan The Orange]

He should still be in the newspaper with these stats.

If he played in the 50s or 60s when they didn't baby pitchers he would have won 4,000 for sure.

Agreed. Pitching every other day is for girls. He should of been out there for all 162 games every year.

Horton was great.


I can't believe you guys don't remember him pitching every single day for the Cardinals.
