Clark Griffith retired in 1923, at the age of 32, with a record of 177-147. He won 170 of those games in the nine seasons from 1912-1920.

The ninth pick in 1910, Griffith was ROY in 1912, posting an 18-8 record and an OOTP ERA of 2.33 which was good for a npa ERA+ of 138. In 27 starts he pitched 24 CGs, including 3 shut outs.

Camilo Pascual was a mid third rd pick in 1902. Like Griffith, 2 years later Pascual was a ROY recipient. In 1904 he went 17-16 with an OOTP ERA of 2.48 on a 7th place Washington team.

Like Griffith, he also appeared in WS and went 1-1 on the mound, but his team lost to a legendary Boston team, in 1911, that was on its way to 3 straight WS titles. (That Boston team featured HOFers Charles Buffington, Walter Johnson, Rod Carew, and Roberto Clemente when they were all between the ages of 24 and 28...tough draw, that.)

For his career Pascual went 216-177 with a 2.54 OOTP ERA. He won 190 games over a 10 season span. Twice he struck out 200 batters in a season, in an era when that was meaningful, and finished with 1905 Ks for his career.

In 414 starts, he pitched 286 CGs and 32 shut outs

Pascual enters on the Veteran Standard.
