The first Pitcher to ever win 20 Games for the Brewers, Jim Colborn easily had his best year in Major League Baseball when he accomplished that feat.  That year Colborn was named to the All Star Team and finished 6th in Cy Young Voting.  He would have four other seasons with Milwaukee, but did not approach his accomplishments from 1973.
