Able was first obtained by the Storm in a huge package deal at the end of their first window that saw future Storm hall of famers Hentzelman and Rosar go to the Browns. Once he stepped onto the mound, he was quick to prove why he was the centerpiece of the deal. Amassing 288 career victories over his illustrious career, which included 11 All-Star games and a Cy Young, Able was the definition of great. He is 3rd all time in wins, Complete Games, Shutouts, and Innings Pitched; he is also 5th all time in strikeouts. He is one of only three pitchers to toss at least 8 shutouts in a season (the other two? JPD and Greg Brown, of course!). Able won 3 rings over the course of his career, assuring that nobody could question his ability to win the big one for his team.
Jack Shea, SP, CIN 1958-1969 KC 1970-1975
Together with Conover Able, Shea made the top 2 in the Storm's rotation the most feared the FRL has ever seen to date. Amassing 281 victories (putting the duo at a mind boggling 569 combined victories when pitching for the same team - a record that shan't be broken anytime soon), Shea was named to 9 All Star teams, but brought in 2 Cy Youngs for his efforts. In 1968 Jack Shea broke the single season record for wins (27), which was later broken. Jack Shea was 4th all time in wins, 10th in Complete Games, 4th in Shutouts (beating former HoF Hentzelman by 1, assuring that 4 of the top 5 all time in shutouts pitched for the Storm), 7th in Innings Pitched, and 8th in Strikeouts. Like Able, Shea won three World Series, as the two never pitched without each other.
These two names clearly belong with the likes of JPD and Greg Brown, and should definitely be voted into the Hall!

1. Bill Tincup - SP (1960-1975) [url]http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=4509327[/url]
Drafted #1 overall in the 1959 draft, Bill spent one season in the minors before making his ML debut in 1960. Althought there were high expectations, Tincup's first six seasons were solid but ordinary, as he played on some pretty bad and mediocre teams for most of the 60's. He then had a breakout year in 1966, which began a streak of eight straight consecutive all-star appearances, including two N.L. Cy Young awards in 1970 & 72. His 1970 season, in particular was outstanding. Bill led the N.L. in every important pitching statistic that year on the way to winning the pitching triple-crown of wins, ERA, and strikeouts. Tincup was also a great fielder who did not make an error until his final season. Remarkable!
Tincup along with Frank Devine anchored the Musketeer pitching staff for many seasons, and after narrowly missing the playoffs in 1970 & 1971, led them to the playoffs in the 1972-1975 seasons. He spent his entire career in Milwaukee, and will be forever remembered for his 1972 "play-in" game victory over Chicago to get Milwaukee into the post-season for the first time in two decades, and his courageous Game 7 victory over Kansas City in 1973 World Series, in which he was injured, to bring the Milwaukee franchise it's first Championship. Tincup along with teammate Frank Devine matched up against pitching greats Conover Able & Jack Shea in that series, pitting Cy Young winner vs. Cy Young winner in multiple games.
Tincup led the majors in wins & complete games twice, Innings & WHIP three times, and strikouts, ERA, and shutouts once. His career totals & rankings are impressive.
Wins 248 (10th all-time)
K's 2,762 (7th all-time)
WHIP 1.14 (9th all-time)
ERA 3.25 (12th all-time)
CG 105 (9th all-time)
SHO 33 (8th all-time)
IP 4028 (5th all-time)
2. Frank Devine - SP (Baltimore 1959-1967, Milwaukee 1968-1975) [url]http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=4245972[/url]
Splitting his career almost evenly between Baltimore and Milwaukee, Devine's career started out with a bang by winning the A.L. Cy Young award at the age of 22 in his first full season while with Baltimore. Although he never won the award again, Frank went on to become one the most consistent winners in league history by finishing with 267 wins, good for 6th all-time in that category. He was a key member of the Baltimore Crabs teams of the early to mid 60's, appearing in the playoffs 5 times and the World Series 4 times while with Baltimore.
Frank was traded to Milwaukee in the spring of 1968, and help turn the Musketeers into a champion with his great pitching and superb leadership. Frank was an all-star 7 times, appeared in the post-season 9 times, and the World Series 6 times. Devine finally got his ring in 1973, appearing in 2 games in that series, pitching a shutout, and coming in to get the save in game seven. (There was no way he was going to let that one get away!)
Devine led the majors in CG's twice and Shutouts once. He ranks high in most pitching categories.
Wins 267 (6th all-time)
K's 2,728 (10th all-time)
WHIP 1.19 (17th all-time)
CG 121 (4th all-time)
SHO 34 (7th all-time)
IP 4015.2 (6th all-time)
