One of the slowest workers in the game, Claude Osteen lulled opposing batters (and fans) to sleep with his methodical pitching style. He hurled a shutout in Game Three of the 1965 World Series and tossed 40 more shutouts in regular-season play. Despite that impressive number of whitewashes, Osteen finished just a shade over .500 for his 18-year career, at 196-195. He won at least 10 games in ten straight seasons and reached 15 victories eight times. Nicknamed “Gomer” because of his resemblance to Gomer Pyle
