		Bert Blyleven also ranks in the top ten for the decade of the 1980s, and he is second for the ten-year period (1975-1984) overlapping these two decades—behind only Steve Carlton, who is also a multiple Cy Young Award winner and first-ballot HOF inductee.

	Bert Blyleven \| BaseballLibrary.com
		Born in the Netherlands, Blyleven was raised in Southern California; his father piqued his interest in baseball by taking him to see Sandy Koufax pitch for the Dodgers.
		Blyleven pitched well enough in his first year with the Rangers (8-11, 2.76 ERA), ending the season with a no-hitter against California on September 22, 1977 in Blyleven's first start in over two weeks after being sidelined with a pulled groin.
		Blyleven maintained a strikeout-to-walk ratio of nearly 3 to 1 while passing the 3,000-strikeout mark in 1986, the same year his eighth AL season with 200 or more strikeouts established a league record.

	The Baseball Analysts: Bert Blyleven: Up Close and Personal
		Bert, on the other hand, was a four-year veteran of the major leagues and already one of the best pitchers in baseball at the tender age of 22.
		Blyleven was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates prior to the 1978 season, and he helped lead the Bucs to a World Series victory over the Baltimore Orioles in 1979.
		Although Bert won two games in the postseason -- including a "do-or-die situation" in Game Five of the World Series -- he became disenchanted with the fact that he was only allowed to complete four games that year (after never having fewer than 11 in any full season) while setting a record with 20 no-decisions.

	The Baseball Analysts: The Hall of Fame Case for Bert Blyleven
		Blyleven ranks in the middle of these six pitchers in ERA+ (the ratio of the league's ERA to that of the pitcher, adjusted for the effects of the home ballpark).
		Bert was shafted by the Cy Young voters when he played, and I guess it is no surprise that he is getting shafted by the HOF voters.
		Blyleven was a solid pitcher for a number of years, but never one of the top 4-5 pitchers of his era.
