Achieved a first within the Brewer franchise
whose accomplishment is more significant every year...first Milwaukee pitcher
to win 20 games in 1973....since then only twice have others achieved the same
mark...started with the Cubs...used very little...thrown in as an add on in
trade with the Brewers...scored big dividends exceeding expectation by going
7-7 in 1972...spearheaded the pitching staff
with a 20-7 record on a Milwaukee squad that improved by 9 games....following 3
seasons Colborn returned to earth, averaging 10 wins per season....found short
lived rejuvenation with Kansas City 1977....won 18 as the Royals cruised to
their second straight AL west title...added a no hitter to boot...did not pitch
in playoff despite record....bottom fell the following year...split season with
Royals and fledgling Seattle Mariners....won 4 and lost 12...Stayed in baseball
in multiple roles...most overseas managing in Australia and scouting Asian
countries.
