<p>I say Cardinal. The peak of his career was spent as a Card, plus the 82 ring. </p><p>And
as far as I'm concerned Rollie fingers went in as a reliever, not for
his amazing body of work as a starter. He started a grand total of 37
games in his career, and almost all were in his first few years in the
bigs, before he became a steady reliever. His HOF credentials were
exclusively for his relief pitching, not his mediocre early starts. <br />
</p><p>Eckersley and Hoyt Wilhelm were half and half.</p><p> </p><p>And
I never looked at Bert Byleven pitch and said "This guys a HOF pitcher"
His career winning pct is barely over .500. 84 and 89 are the only
years that were HOF quality. The rest of his career he was slightly
over or under .500 in wins. He struck out alot of guys, but he was
above average at best. He's one of these guys who pitched so long (22
years) he has 287 wins, but he has 250 losses as well. And that
averages out to 13-11 per season. Mediocre. <br />
