strikeouts in his first Major League season. At the time, it was the most strikeouts by a National League

Welcome news for our city’s small businesses (and the rest of us): San Francisco Mayor London Breed gave a hint today that the city could reopen soon if the Covid-19 infection rate continues at its current rate or declines.
Hall of Famer Don Sutton, one of the Dodgers’ all-time greats and the club leader in numerous pitching categories, passed away at his home after battling cancer. Sutton was 75 years old.
The legendary right-hander spent 16 of his 23 Major League seasons with the Dodgers and ranks as the all-time team leader in wins (233), strikeouts (2,696), innings pitched (3,816 1/3), games started (533) and shutouts (52). He was enshrined into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1998, and the Dodgers retired his №20 on Aug. 14, 1998.
“Today we lost a great ballplayer, a great broadcaster and, most importantly, a great person,” said Dodger President and CEO Stan Kasten. “Don left an indelible mark on the Dodger franchise during his 16 seasons in Los Angeles and many of his records continue to stand to this day. I was privileged to have worked with Don in both Atlanta and Washington, and will always cherish our time spent together. On behalf of the Dodger organization, we send our condolences to the entire Sutton family, including Don’s wife, Mary, his son, Daron, and his daughters, Staci and Jacquie.”
Sutton debuted for the Dodgers on April 14, 1966, at 21 years old, in the final season of fellow Dodger pitching great Sandy Koufax’s storied career. Sutton went 12–12 with a 2.99 ERA and 209 strikeouts in his first Major League season. At the time, it was the most strikeouts by a National League rookie since Grover Cleveland Alexander fanned 227 batters in 1911.

The season set the stage for a legendary Dodger career.
Sutton was a four-time All-Star for the Dodgers (1972, 1973, 1975, 1977) and a workhorse for the club, making at least 30 starts in 14 of his 16 seasons with the team. He helped the Dodgers reach the World Series three times (1974, 1977, 1978). He led the Majors in shutouts in 1972 (nine) and in ERA in 1980 (2.20). He also led the National League with 40 games started in 1974 — one of two seasons in which he recorded at least 40 starts. He was a 21-game winner in 1976.
Sutton, who is one of six Dodger players with at least 16 years of service to the club, spent 15 seasons with the Dodgers from 1966–80 before returning to Los Angeles for his final Major League season in 1988. Between those years, Sutton had stints with the Houston Astros (1981–82), Milwaukee Brewers (1982–84), Oakland Athletics (1985) and California Angels (1985–87).
The right-hander finished his career with 3,574 strikeouts, which rank seventh all-time in the Majors. He also ranks 10th on the all-time list with 58 shutouts. Sutton had a career 3.26 ERA and 324 wins. He’s one of 24 pitchers with at least 300 wins.
Following his 23-year pitching career, Sutton began his broadcasting career in 1987 working the National League Championship Series for NBC before splitting his time in 1989 between the Dodgers Z Channel and the Atlanta Braves. He then spent 18 years with the Braves on TBS and two years with the Washington Nationals in 2008–08 before returning to the Braves in 2009. He was elected to the Braves Hall of Fame in 2015 for his broadcast work. bebas bebas bebas bebas bebas bebas bebas bebas
