Cannons Star Pitcher Wins Triple Crown: Rufus Barrell II of the Cincinnati Cannons could be headed for the Continental Association Allen Award after an unforgettable 1942 season. The Cannons pitching star won the league's Triple Crown, winning 24 games, striking out 163 and logging a 1.76 ERA -- all league bests.
"It's an honor," Barrell II told BNN, "Not many pitchers can say they've won the Triple Crown. Usually the batting Triple Crown gets all the attention."
In his sensational year he registered 24 wins and 5 losses. An opposing manager said, "I can see how he won 24 games. What I don't understand is how he lost 5."
