He had quite a list of accomplishments, including winning 19 games as a rookie, 22 wins in 1939, eleven double-digit victory seasons, twice a NL All-Star, and pitching in the 1941 World Series. He had excellent control, leading the league in BB/9IP in 1938 and 1941, and finishing in the top ten in that category ten times.\n', '
