Yes, he really did pitch for the Los Angeles Dodgers, winning the World Series MVP twice. In three separate seasons -- 1963, 1965, 1966 -- he had more wins, more strike outs, and a lower ERA; than any other pitcher in MLB. Only one other MLB pitcher has thrice led even his league in those three categories. Perhaps more impressively, he pitched to Mr. Ed.
