Don't recall ever seeing Niekro or Wakefield pitch.

I particularly recall seeing Wood shut down the Mustache Gang A’s in an early Sept. '72 game. It was his 24th win, and it put him very much in the Cy Young race. He lost all of his remaining decisions—the workload caught up w/ him.

I particularly recall seeing Hough throw first pitch in Marlins' history in '93. He got the W over Orel Hershiser of Dodgers that afternoon.
