I remember it was a big joke back in the 70s when Stone, up to that point a mediocre pitcher his whole career, had a clause in his contract for some big bonus if he should win the Cy Young Award. Of course, the following season he went out and did just that!!

Speedy,

I'm not saying he was a great pitcher---that Cy Young Award notwithstanding---it's more of a commentary on that vaunted pitching staff and the rest of the team.

Other of course, than Sosa in the past and Maddux...and maybe Zambrano or Ramirez in a couple of years.
