Displaying a remarkable consistency during his 17-year career, Jim Bunning became the first pitcher to
record 100 wins and 1,000 strikeouts in both the American and National leagues. He also threw no-hitters
in both leagues, including a perfect game on Father’s Day 1964. Accumulated 224 career wins as a seven-time
All-Star selection. Bunning was also a leading figure in the founding of the player’s union and
would later serve the state of Kentucky as a United States Senator.
