Hall of Fame Major League Baseball Player. He was a pitcher for Major League Baseball's San Francisco Giants, Cleveland Indians, Texas Rangers, San Diego Padres, New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves, Seattle Mariners, and Kansas City Royals during a twenty-two year career (1962-1983). After playing baseball in high school and college, he signed with the San Francisco Giants in 1958. He played several seasons in the Giants' farm system before moving up to the Giants' main team in 1962. He went on to play for the Giants for ten years before being traded to the Cleveland Indians before the 1972 season. While with the Giants, he was a two-time All-Star (1966, 1970), led the Majors in wins in 1970, and pitched a no-hitter on September 17, 1968. He also played a part in the Giants winning both the National League title in 1962 and the National League West title in 1971. His tenure with the Indians lasted for three and half years before he was traded to the Texas Rangers during the 1975 season. As a member of "the Tribe," he appeared in two All-Star games (1972, 1974), led the Majors in wins (1972) and won the Cy Young Award (1972). He pitched for the Rangers for the next two and a half seasons before he was traded to the San Diego Padres before the 1978 season. He went on to pitch for the Padres for two years before being traded back to the Rangers before the 1980 season. During his stay with the Padres, he appeared in the 1979 All-Star game, led the Majors in wins (1978) and won the Cy Young Award in 1978. With his win of the Cy Young Award in 1978, he became the first pitcher to win the award in both leagues. Besides the Rangers, he went on to pitch for four more teams before retiring after the 1983 season. His Major League career statistics included 314 wins, 265 losses, a 3.11 ERA, and 3,534 strikeouts. He was later honored by being inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991. His uniform number 36 was retired by the San Francisco Giants and he was inducted into both the San Francisco Giants Wall of Fame and Cleveland Guardians Hall of Fame. He contracted COVID-19 in 2021 and never fully recovered before passing away in 2022.
