I don’t know if Guidry was a major snub, but I’m still chuckling at the mere thought that Sandy Koufax isn’t worthy. Wow just wow.
n the major leagues, the Pitching Triple Crown has been accomplished 39 times. The most by one player is three, accomplished by three players.
Sandy Koufax was the most recent to capture three Triple Crowns, winning his three within four seasons for the Los Angeles Dodgers (1963, 1965–1966); all of Koufax's crowns led both major leagues, the most for any player.
I'm not saying Koufax is a yay or nay, but I also don't put a whole lot into awards and wins when considering. Again, teams can score a lot of runs for a pitcher, and have a great effect on won/loss records. And conversely, poor defense and low run scoring can really have a negative effect on a good pitcher's won/loss, etc. I really like ERA, innings pitched, and even WHIP. Those really tell the bulldog pitcher regardless of what he's got behind him.
