(Photo courtesy of www.boysofspring.com)Rick Sutcliffe, nicknamed "The Red Baron", joined the Chicago Cubs in the middle of the 1984 season. After 4-5 start in Cleveland, he went 16-1 for Chicago to earn a unanimous vote as NL Cy Young Award winner, the first winner ever to split a season between the AL and NL. He won Chicago's pennant-clinching game and Game One of the 1984 LCS, but lost the decisive fifth game.
In March of 2008, he was diagnosed with colon cancer and underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatments during the spring of 2008 and returned to work with ESPN on May 21, 2008
