In defeating the St. Louis Browns 12-1 on September 8, 1939, Bob Feller became the youngest pitcher ever to record 20 wins in a season. The 20-year-old Indians pitcher would finish the season with a 24-9 record and an ERA of 2.85.
This day in baseball: Feller records 20 wins
20 years old….20 wins…..probably doesn’t get much better than that.
A sure sign of a promising career ahead!
