"Obviously, our concern is for (his wife) Kathe and their family, and on behalf of the Giants, I want to express our condolences. I can't put into words the impact Pat had on the Giants over the years." Dobson was 20-8 with a 2.90 ERA in 1971, his second of seven straight 10-win seasons. He was joined in that rotation by Hall of Famer jim palmer (20-9), Dave McNally (21-5) and Mike Cuellar (20-9). That squad and the 1920 Chicago White Sox are the only teams in major league history to post four 20-game winners. The righthander was... | |
