LaMarr Hoyt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Dewey LaMarr Hoyt, January 1, 1955 in Columbia, South Carolina), the 1983 American League Cy Young Award-winning pitcher, was a control specialist on the mound and an uncontrol specialist off it, his career destroyed by drugs after it had taken off barely enough in the first place. |
 | | Hoyt was even better in 1983, leading the White Sox to the American League West title with a 24-10 won-lost record, a 3.66 ERA, and even better control than the year before: this time, Hoyt walked 31 batters in 260 and 2/3 innings's work. |
 | | Hoyt wasn't even close to the only reason the White Sox faltered in 1984, though his 13-18 won-lost record with a 4.47 ERA was an alarming enough drop from winning the Cy Young Award, but the White Sox dealt him to the San Diego Padres for 1985. |
