Bunning, Jim | Baseball Hall of Fame
Jim Bunning was a tough right-handed sidearm pitcher during his 17-year big league career, but consistency was what he craved, once stating, "I am most proud of the fact I went through nearly 11 years without missing a start. They wrote my name down, and I went to the post."
