1979

Pittsburgh won 98 games in '79, and Blyleven's 237 innings led a team that earned a World Series victory over the Baltimore Orioles. His stay in Pittsburgh was marred by a trade demand, a two-week walk-out and a threat to retire early in the 1980 season. He was traded to the Indians following an 8-13 season.
