Warren Spahn

A star on a pitching mound and a hero on the battlefields, Warren Spahn excelled in two far different uniforms. Arguably the greatest southpaw pitcher in big league history, whose 363 triumphs makes him the all-time winningest left-handed hurler in the game, he used his mound mastery to gain admittance into the national pastime’s most exclusive club – the National Baseball Hall of Fame – in 1973.

Warren Spahn career pitching statistics for Major League, Minor League, and postseason baseball

The fifth-winningest pitcher of all time, Warren Spahn went 363-245 over parts of 21 years from 1942 to 1965. Only by remaining in the game two seasons too long did he fail to finish with an ERA under 3.00 (3.09) and a winning percentage over .600 (.597), and his totals are all the more impressive considering that he didn’t record his first big-league victory until he was 25. Spahn should make everyone’s list of the 10 best pitchers in baseball history, and was the one “sure thing” Braves fans had to cheer for through the team's final five years in Boston -- and far beyond.
