Paul Splittorff, the @Royals all-time wins leader (166) and first Royal to win 20 in a season (in 1973), had 3 seasons with fewer than 3 K/9 (and they were consecutive!):
• 1978 – 262.0 IP, 76 K
• 1979 – 240.0 IP, 77 K
• 1980 – 204.0 IP, 53 K
That's 206 K in 706 innings
Not enough people talk about Paul Splittorff

• Pitched 15 years in the big leagues
• First Royal with a 20-win season

• Got votes for ROY (1971) and CYA (1978)
• 2-0, 2.79 ERA in 38.2 postseason innings

• Paul Splittorff was your archetypal soft-tossing lefty and is 1 of 6 pitchers in the Divisional Era (since 1969) to record multiple seasons with at least 240 IP and yet somehow fewer than 100 strikeouts

Dolly Parton’s sister reveals the star was willing to try experimental cancer drugs in hopes of helping “others in the future.”
In a message posted to social media, Stella Parton wrote of Dolly, “My sister was one of the most generous, thoughtful and kind people I’ve ever known. What the world saw is exactly who she was, so much so, she told me recently that if there was no hope for her, she would still allow her medical team to try experimental drugs in the hope of helping others in the future.”
“My sister was always thinking of others, and if you want to honor her legacy, show more kindness, lift others up, and give more of your time and resources, as she continued to do to the very end.”
