It was Marichal, who won more games in the 1960s (191) than Gibson (164), Drysdale (158), Bunning (150), Kaat (142), Larry Jackson (141 for the Cardinals) or Koufax (137).
It's a bit of an unfair question. Until 1966, there was only one Cy Young winner in the majors, and until 1970 sportswriters only had a single first place vote. Marichal had great years from 1963 to 1966 (most wins in 1963, highest WAR 1965, best winning % in 1966), but Koufax won three of the four and Dean Chance won the other. Marichal had great seasons in 1968 (most wins) and 1969 (lowest ERA, 21 wins) but Gibson had his amazing year in 1968 (1.12 ERA...and how did he lose 9 games that year?) and in 1969 Tom Seaver led the league in wins (25) and the Mets won the pennant. So when MLB finally expanded the Cy Young vote to include 2nd and 3rd place votes, Marichal had his last good season (18-11) when Jenkins finished 24-13 (winner) and Seaver finished 2nd (10.2 WAR leader). Marichal finished 8th, tied with Bill Stoneman of the Expos who gave up 146 walks.

There are two pitchers who in the modern era have had at least 20 starts during the course of a season with an earned run average of less than 1.20 over the course of those starts. One was Bob Gibson. Who is the other?
Here's a hint: he's the starting pitcher for the Giants tonight.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2024 - BobK - 04-08-2024
Blake Snell is the starter but no ERA under 1.89

Snell had a 23 game run last year during which his ERA (1.20) was bettered only by Bob Gibson (0.85 in 1968) for the same number of starts.

1962 Yankees v. Giants.
The Yanks won 1-0, scoring their only run on a double play ground ball.

I was in the 8th grade at the time. The principal set up a TV in our auditorium and any students that were interested were permitted to watch the game. Yep, a black and white TV on the stage of a decent-sized auditorium. I’ll never forget it. McCovey came so close. Those were the days……

Remember transistor radios with "hidden" earbuds when the A's were having their heyday in the early 70's. . . .Great stuff.
