The last major league pitcher to win 30 or more games during a season (he went 31-6 for Detroit in 1968). McLain's baseball career was short-circuited by associations with gamblers; he was suspended for most of the 1970 season for this behavior, and left the majors in '72 at the age of 28. His post-baseball career has included imprisonment for drug trafficking and embezzlement.
