Kinda looks like Jamie Moyer, doesnt it? A little maybe? I wouldn't be surprised, since Moyer has been around since the Pre Cambrian. Anyway, Jansen (b. 1920 - d. 2009) played in the majors from 1947 to 1954 and 1956 for the Giants and Reds. He had a career record of 122-89, a 3.58 ERA and 842 strikeouts. He finished in second for the 1947 Rookie of the Year award, to Jackie Robinson when he went 21-5, with a 3.16 ERA. He won 18 or more games in 4 seasons and won 20 or more in two of those. He finished as high as 7th in the NL MVP voting (1947).
Deceased: 16
