Sutton broke with the Dodgers in 1966 and turned into one of the most consistent pitchers in baseball.
As a LA Dodger, he won 233, completed 158, threw 52 shutouts and had a great 3.09 ERA over 16 seasons. He pitched with LA in the 1974, 1977 & 1978 postseason. Later, he played with the Angels, Brewers & Astros.
In 1982, he was a critical piece of the AL champs Milwaukee Brewers. Sutton beat Baltimore's Jim Palmer on the last day of the season to clinch the AL East title. it was quite a game.
He retired with 324 wins, a wonderful 3.26 career ERA and Hall of Fame 1998.
