Danny Jackson had an up and down career over his fifteen seasons in Major League Baseball, the first third of which were spent in a Kansas City Royals uniform.  The first overall pick in 1982 would have a few decent seasons as a starter for KC but it was his 1985 playoff performance that cements him on this list.  Jackson shutout the Toronto Blue Jays in a pivotal Game 5 when the Royals were down 3 games to 1, which turned the tide in the series.  He would go on to win another game in the World Series against the Cardinals to help the Royals win their first championship.

Jackson would later have a 23 Win season with the Cincinnati Reds (1988) and would win a second World Series Ring shortly after.
