Ron Bryant (2023) had a good '72 season, then won 24 for the '73 Giants before crashing & burning (3-15 5.61) in '74. Maybe it should have been obvious he was used up in September '73 when in his last 6 starts he lasted only 29.2 innings & gave up 27 earned runs.

Dick Burns was the first MLBer born (1863) who died on November 16 (1937). He went 2-12 for the 1883 Detroit Wolverines of the NL. Pitched a no-hitter in the Union Association in 1884 but if that was really a major league then I'm Juan Soto.
