reedman Enthusiast Registered: Thu Sep 30 1999 Posts: 346 Loc: Parkersburg West Virginia USA	Sorry, fellas - good answers and good research, but he had to be less than 20 years old (19) ! I'm glad to see those juices flowin' again in our sports forum!

Partsdude Prolific Registered: Thu Dec 23 1999 Posts: 1509 Loc: Michigan USA	How about Dwight Gooden winning 17 games when he was 19. Bob Feller also won 17 when he was 19 but he was a few days older than Gooden. _________________________ Don't look back, something might be gaining on you. -Satchel Paige
