| Dave McNally was one of the first of the young Baltimore Orioles pitchers of the 1960s to reach the majors. McNally debuted in 1962, but didn't become a solid part of the Orioles rotation until 1965. He was a key part of the Baltimore staff that surprised the American League as the Orioles won their first pennant in 1966. McNally was chosen to start Game 1 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Unfortunately, wildness brought an early exit, which led to Moe Drabowsky setting a World Series record for strikeouts by a relief pitcher in the Orioles' Game 1 win. McNally redeemed himself in Game 4, firing a shutout to clinch the Orioles four-game sweep and bringing Baltimore the World Championship.
