John Candelaria had a great start in his second season. He was 16-7. He followed that by going 20-5 the next year. He had a 13-, 14- and 15-win season mixed into the next 16 years.
It added up to a career record of 177-122. Not bad, but over 19 seasons that's about a 9-6 record per season. He had 10 seasons with 10+ wins and nine seasons of less than 10 wins.
1977 Kellogg's John Candelaria #07
1977 Rating -- 7 comment -- Nice start to a career with his 16-7 record.
2016 Rating -- 4 comment -- He won 20 games in 1977 but that was the high point.
Is this one of the weakest row of three players in a Kellogg's set? More later.
I would have to agree
ReplyDeleteCandelaria was pretty good, though. The Pirates had a tall staff....him, Jim Bibby, Kent Tekulve....
