    Who am I?

    I’m the only pitcher ever to make at least 400 career starts and at least 400 relief appearances; I had 440 and 418 respectively.

    I was the last pitcher to pitch at least 13 innings in a game and the last pitcher to start at least 40 games in a season.

    I ended my career with a record of 216-216.

    Charlie Hough? It’s the record that is dinging in my head.

    He’s the one. It’s crazy how many games he and Wood started with their knuckleballs

    Will draft off Hough. In 1978, the dodgers had a stacked pitching staff with 15 men making appearances. Eight of them pitched in at least one All Star game during their career. Name them.

    No. But quick glances at their roster, and I am pretty sure the dodgers averaged about eight All-stars per year for the decade. No real reason I picked 78!except that had all eight had successful careers as starters.
