1977 Topps #5 - 1976 Victory Leaders

• There were only three 20-game winners in the American League in 1976. 
• This was the fewest since 1967, when three pitchers won 20 or more.
• Jim Palmer led the AL in wins three straight years (1974-1976). He won 20 or more games eight times in his career.
• Randy Jones' 22 wins were remarkable considering that he pitched for a team that went 73-89 and finished 5th in the NL West. The Padres finished 11th in runs scored that season
• Unfortunately after two great seasons (1975 and 1976), Jones hurt his arm in 1977 and was never as dominant again.
