Robin Roberts was the ace of the Phillies' staff for most of his 14 years in a brilliant 19-season major league career. The
durable workhorse with a superior fastball and pinpoint control won 286 games and compiled six consecutive 20-victory seasons.
In 1950, he paced the Phils to their first flag in 35 years with a 20-11 record. A tough competitor, he was a frequent league-leader
in victories, innings pitched, complete games, shutouts and strikeouts, topping the National League in wins from 1952 to 1955.
