Diego Segui - Cuban-born forkball specialist who pitched for six major-league clubs from 1962 to 1977, led the American League in ERA in 1970, and is the only man to play for both the Seattle Pilots and the Seattle Mariners. Jim Palmer was Baltimore's ace right-hander, a three-time Cy Young winner and four-time Gold Glover who worked on three World Series champions, beat Sandy Koufax in Koufax's final appearance, and reached the Hall of Fame in 1990. Clyde Wright - Left-handed Angels pitcher who won 22 games and no-hit Oakland during his 1970 comeback season after learning a screwball in Puerto Rican winter ball under Jim Fregosi.
