21. Vern Law

Vern Law played all of his sixteen seasons in the Majors with the Pittsburgh Pirates, where the right-handed Pitcher performed as one of their top hurlers.

Law debuted for Pittsburgh in 1950, and after a few Games, was obligated to go to the American Military.  The Pitcher returned to the Pirates in 1954 and to their staff, where he moved up and down their rotation for years.  Law had his breakout year 1959, with a 2.98 ERA and 18 Wins.  The Pirates were ready to advance to the postseason in 1960, with Law winning 20 Games with a 3.08 ERA, and he was the Cy Young Award winner.  He won two Games in the World Series, and Pittsburgh won the Title with Law as their ace.

Law continued his career with Pittsburgh, playing until 1967 and posting nine 10-Win years.  Over his career, Law had a sweet record of 162 Wins and 147 Losses with an ERA of 3.77.
