Only Six Players Born in Kansas Got on a Kellogg's Card But Four of Them Won 667 of Games

I found that only six players born in Kansas made it to the big leagues.  Two were position players - Danny Thompson and Bob Horner.  The other four were pitchers.  These pitchers won a lot of games.  

Neil Allen won 58 games in his career.

Paul Lindblad contributed 68 more. 

Ross Grimsley chipped in 124 more games.

That leaves 417 wins.  Walter Johnson is the guy who added most of the wins for this group.  





He led the league in wins six times, he won 20 or more games 12 times including 10 years in a row and he threw 110 shutouts (or about 5 per year).  There are many more amazing stats for Mr. Johnson so check them out sometime.
