Who am I?

I turned 30 before the end of my rookie season in Major League Baseball.

I played for only one Major League Team, for all or part of 11 seasons.

I was a four time All-Star, and a six time World Series Champion.

I won 20 games in two different seasons, including one year in which I lead the league in ERA, and I was named MVP that year.

I hold the Major League record for highest lifetime winning percentage, (not including the Negro Leagues), among players with 100 or more wins who played after the 19th Century.

Nope.

I think you misunderstood the question. The comma after 'races' is important.

Lewis Hamilton scored World Championship points in his first fifteen Formula One races, (2007), but all of those races were for Vodafone McLaren Mercedes.

Ollie Bearman finished 7th in a Ferrari at the 2023 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and 10th for Haas at the 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix in his only two F1 starts to date. Bearman is the reserve driver by both teams.

Correct!

Tosca, (191-191), and Montoyo, (236-236), each won exactly half of the games they managed. Several other Managers had career winning percentages that rounded to .500, with one extra win or loss.

List of Major League Managers - sort the results by any column.

In the history of the NCAA only 3 Canadians have received first place votes for the Heisman trophy. Name any or all of them.

1. Tony Mandarich(correctly answered by onomatopoeia). That was 1988, and I think he received the most first place votes of any Canadian, ever.

See post #5242 for the complete answer.
