Dolf Luque, 1922, Cincinnati. A workhorse's workhorse — 261 innings, 18 complete games, a 3.31 E.R.A. stingy enough to hang your hat on. The wins never came; 13 and 23 don't tell the story a man's arm was writing all summer. Some pitchers get the breaks; Luque got the quiet bats behind him, and he kept taking the ball anyway.
