The story on this card
This League Leaders card tallies the National League's top winners from 1968. Juan Marichal topped the league with 26 victories for the Giants, going 26-9 with a 2.43 ERA across 38 starts. Bob Gibson was second with 22 wins for the Cardinals, though his headline number was a 1.12 ERA, the lowest of the live-ball era, on the way to both the Cy Young Award and the NL MVP. Fergie Jenkins rounded out the trio at 20-15 for the Cubs, his second straight 20-win season pitching half his starts in hitter-friendly Wrigley Field. All three men were established aces in a pitching-dominated season remembered as the Year of the Pitcher, each representing a different NL club on the card.
Juan Marichal - the Dominican Dandy's high leg kick fronted the winningest arm of the 1960s: 191 victories in the decade, nine All-Star teams, 243 career wins, and in 1983 the first Hall of Fame plaque ever hung for a Dominican-born player. Bob Gibson pitched all seventeen of his seasons for the Cardinals, a two-time Cy Young winner and two-time World Series Most Valuable Player whose 1.12 earned run average in 1968 still measures pitching dominance. Fergie Jenkins was the control artist at the front of the Cubs rotation, winning 20 games in six straight seasons and the 1971 National League Cy Young Award on his way to 284 wins, 3,192 strikeouts and a 1991 Hall of Fame plaque.
