Former pitcher Purkey dies - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

Former Cincy pitcher Bob Purkey dies
His career was generally undistinguished, but he had one spectacular year which came out of nowhere, ala Brady Anderson. In 1962 he was 23-5 with a 2.81 ERA. The rest of his career he went 106-110.

In the two years before and after his big season his record was only 22-22, although the Reds won the 1961 pennant, and went 86-76 in 1963.
