Again from "How the Pilots were built"
"Kevin Goar - the big one, and I didn't initiate it. As 1955 started I decided to make Charlie Bloom my closer and offered up Joaquin Harder on the message board. The Shipbuilders offered up Goar and a 1st rounder (which I later packaged into Xavier Quinn) for Harder and Cecil Cantrell. I took the deal and never looked back. We won 99 games that year, lost the ALCS the next but the team was forever changed. 4 Cy Young's and 8 time All Star (6 1st teams) and the All time wins leader."
A truly great pitcher who would easily have won 300 had he not been 25 when play began, he and Gramercy Riff were the lynchpins of the Pilots "threepeat".
