Martinez had a fantastic season and especially when comparing other pitchers’ ERA that year. Maddox as well although he didn’t pitch particularly well in the playoffs. Maddox only pitched about 200 innings. I had the privilege of watching Seaver throughout the 1971 season as I lived on Long Island growing up. The impressive thing about Seaver and Gibson is the amount of innings pitched and complete games l. They were pitching the 8th and
9th innings while today’s pitchers are on the bench. I saw them all and Gibson’s 1968 season
was for the ages.
