Happy 62nd birthday to three-time All-Star starting pitcher, two-time World Series champion and member of the exclusive Perfect Game Club David Wells!

“Boomer,” Wells pitched in 21 MLB seasons, making starts for the nine different teams, getting his rings as part of the late 1990s New York Yankees dynasty and throwing a perfect game against the Minnesota Twins on May 17, 1998.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the pitchers to record at least eight playoff wins in their careers in the Live-Ball Era can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
