	Wilbur Cooper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cooper was born in Bearsville, West Virginia, and his family moved to Waterford, Ohio when he was a boy.
		In October 1924 Cooper was traded to the Chicago Cubs, along with Charlie Grimm and Rabbit Maranville, in a decidedly unpopular six-player deal; he was greatly disappointed to leave the Pirates, and never pitched as effectively again.
		Cooper, who batted right-handed, was also a fine hitter, and teammate Pie Traynor recalled that he would often bat in the #8 slot when he was starting; in 1924, he batted.346 in 104 at bats.

	BIOPROJ.SABR.ORG :: The Baseball Biography Project.
		Cooper turned down the Feds and turned up his performance, emerging in 1914 as the ace of the Pirates by winning 16 games and posting a 2.13 ERA in 267 innings.
		Cooper reached the 20-victory mark for the fourth and final time in 1924, leading the NL with four shutouts and helping the Pirates to a 90-63 record, just three games off the pace, the closest the club had come to a pennant in more than a decade.
		In 1969 Cooper was voted the greatest pitcher in Pirates history in a Pittsburgh poll conducted to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of professional baseball.

	The Legend of D.B. Cooper
		Moments later, with the plane cruising at a pedestrian 175 mph, Cooper pitched himself into the teeth of a rainstorm and hurtled toward the spiky tops of evergreens and the frigid waters of the Columbia River.
		Himmelsbach long has championed one: Cooper could not have survived his leap into the rarefied air, made freezing by the speed of his plunge, or the bone-crunching landing on the uneven ground or the numbing chop of the Columbia River.
		His demands were eerily similar to those made by Cooper 19 weeks earlier: four parachutes, a fuel truck on the left side of the plane, $500,000 cash.

	1921 NL Mathewson Award
		Cooper was a terrific pitcher for many years, one of the workhorses in the league.
		His 29 complete games this year were a career high, and came in the middle of a streak of seven consecutive years with 25+ complete games, something no one has done since.
		Cooper won 216 games in his career; he wasn't a great pitcher, but he was as good as Pop Haines, Eppa Rixey, or Rube Marquard, some comtemporary pitchers who are in the Hall Of Fame.

	Why so few get to Cooperstown - Baseball Fever
		As to: "Which explains why Wilbur Cooper is not in and Don Drysdale is in?"
		Look for what Cooper did that no other pitcher ever did, then look at the same for Drysdale.
		The main reason I choose Cooper over Leever is because he didn't have 200 wins, and he had a MUCH MUCH better supporting cast, and he pitched in the dead ball era alone, and I can't justify him going up against some of the other pitchers who did it for a lot longer than Sam.
