On Saturday, CC Sabathia was 49 - 19 as a Yankee. In the last 60 years, only 4 Yankees pitchers have won their 50th game before losing 20. Name them.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
It was going to be a guess and I should have gone with my gut instinct, but I did verify by looking up.

I had wanted to get the lyric correct ("Could you tell me what a Wang Chung is?") so I had gone on to Youtube. The initial click was to the official video and I listened several times but didn't hear that lyric. It is kind of a background yell during one of the latter sections of "Everybody....everyone" repeats. I thought I was losing my memory. After a bit of research it became apparent that there were two versions of the song released. Text includes the self-deprecating lyric around the 3:22 mark. Usually, this is the version that you would still hear occasionally on the radio.
Just wanted to clarify.
Thanks

Remember he was the "next big yankee pitcher" now where is he (I think Washington)..
