Curve-balling righthander Ernie Broglio tied for the National League lead in victories in 1960 with Milwaukee’s Warren Spahn when he won 21 for the Cardinals in his second big-league season. Broglio also won 18 for the 1963 Cardinals team which challenged for, but fell short of, the National League pennant.
