In a widely circulated national profile of the Brooklyn Dodgers’ Billy Loes in the Saturday Evening Post in 1953, journalist Jimmy Breslin described the young hurler as a “Dizzy Dean from the sidewalks of New York.” Loes advised against becoming a 20-game winner, because “If you win 20 games, they expect you to do it every year.” Loes never did win 20, but was 50-25 over four seasons in Brooklyn.
