His World Series performances are legend. Other than games 1 of the 67 & 68 series, all other WS starts were on 3 days rest. And all but his first WS start were complete games, one was 10 innings (and in that first WS appearance he went 8 innings).
His career WS stats:
9 games, all starts. 8 complete games, 2 shutouts, 7-2 record.
1.89 ERA, 81 innings, 92 K's, 17 BB's.
He was the winning pitcher in two game sevens, and might've had a chance at winning his final game seven in 1968 had a two-out fly ball not been misplayed/misjudged by Curt Flood.
Greatest postseason pitcher of all-time? Possibly, although Koufax would be right there with him. And probably a few guys from much-earlier eras. But quite a resume.
