During Major League Baseball's expansion era, (post 1960), three players have had both a season with 40 or more home runs AND at least one career pitching win. Shohei Ohtani is one of them, (duh).

Name either or both of the other two.

Rocky Colavito hit 40+ home runs in 1958, 1959 and 1961. He won a game on August 25, 1968, pitching 2 2/3 scoreless innings in the 4th-6th innings of the first game of a doubleheader.

Chris Davis hit 40+ home runs in 2013 and 2015. He pitched the last two innings of a 17 inning game on May 6, 2012.

Six Major League Baseball players who have led their League* in Saves for a season have also played for the Toronto Blue Jays at some point in their career.

Name as many as you can.

*Includes tied for League lead.

Dave Righetti, (1986), Tom Henke, (1987), Duane Ward, (1993*), Randy Myers, (1997), Brad Hand, (2020), Liam Henriks, (2021).

Kirby Yates, (2019) technically could be on this list. He tossed two spring training innings for the Blue Jays in 2021 before missing the entire season because of Tommy John surgery.

There's also Tommy Joe Coffey, if you include CFL.

Someone from Hamilton could probably confirm this. I think Tommy Joe Coffey was a grandfather at age 35 or 36. I think he was a father at age 18, and his daughter had a child at age 17, or the other way around.
