Milt Pappas debuted as a teenager with the Baltimore Orioles in 1957, and he would become a permanent part of the O's rotation the year after. An All-Star in both 1962 and 1965, Pappas was coming off two straight sub-three ERA and two 16-Win years and before he was packaged out to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for future Hall of Famer, Frank Robinson.
Robinson took Baltimore to a World Series, while Pappas struggled. He was later traded to Atlanta, and then Chicago, where he had two straight 17 Win years (1971-72). Pappas retired after 1973, and had a respectable record of 209-164, and would finish BB/9 twice with eight top-ten finished in ERA.
