Catfish Hunter

It’s hard to remember the name James Augustus Hunter, but no one forgot how “Catfish” pitched. The star pitcher for the Athletics, “Catfish” won 21 or more games five seasons in a row and recorded a perfect game in 1968. Hunter won the Cy Young award in 1974, and finished his career on Broadway — pitching under the bright lights of Yankee Stadium. Though injuries ended his career at age 33, Hunter won 224 games and five World Series titles.
