With his next win, Javier Vazquez will have reached double digit wins for the 11th straight season. Who are the last three pitchers to have 11-season streaks of 10 wins or more?
Bonus question: 3 players all-time have 20 or more seasons of double digit wins. Can you name them?
Put your answers in the comments below and I'll reveal the correct answers later. Good luck!

Mike Mussina, Greg Maddux, and Jamie Moyer?
ReplyDeleteMike Mussina (1992-2008) and Greg Maddux (1988-2007) were the last two to accomplish the feat (although, as you can tell, they went well beyond it). But Moyer was not the third. Keep guessing!
ReplyDeleteRoger Clemens, Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux
ReplyDeleteGreg Maddux for bonus also
Paul got the last one: Roger Clemens (1995-2005).
ReplyDeleteGreg Maddux (20) was one of the answers for the bonus. Two more!
Phil Niekro and Cy Young
ReplyDeletePhil Niekro and Cy Young both had 19 seasons of double digit wins so they just missed out. Still two more!
ReplyDeleteD'OH!!
ReplyDeleteHint: the last two guys pitched on teams in California in the 70s. Although both are in the Hall of Fame, amazingly neither won a Cy Young award.
ReplyDeleteVida Blue?
ReplyDeleteNolan Ryan for sure
ReplyDeleteNolan Ryan (20 seasons) is correct but Vida Blue (only 11 seasons) is not
ReplyDeleteOne more!
Hint: He played for the Dodgers in the 70s
Sandy Koufax
ReplyDeleteWrong decade (60s) and Koufax only had 7 seasons of double digit wins.
ReplyDeleteLast hints:
ReplyDelete-Was a broadcaster for TBS from 1989-2006.
-Member of 300-win and 3000-strikeout clubs. -Played for the Dodgers most of his career.
