When people talk about Hall of Fame candidates, one of the things they talk about is whether the player has a Hall of Fame resume.
Well, how's this for a resume builder? A left-handed pitcher who, in his second year in the big leagues, pitched 81/3 shutout innings on the road in Game 5 of a tied World Series. That pitcher's team went on to a 1-0 victory to take a 3-2 series lead and eventually won that series in six games.
That pitcher went on to set the all-time record for postseason wins, going 19-11 with a 3.81 ERA in 44 postseason starts. That pitcher is Andy Pettitte, who is on the Hall of Fame ballot for the first time this year.
