One Win Wonders: Chronicles of 50 Major League Pitchers with one, and only one, career victory.
One Win Wonders celebrates those pitchers who reached the Major Leagues and earned one, and only one, career victory. There have been approximately
650 members of this exclusive club in baseball since 1930. Some have appeared in as little as one inning, others played a year or more, but they all have
one thing in common—one win. Rose explores 50 members of the one win wonder club, and takes you on a journey through eight decades of baseball history

focuses on the details of each player's one and only win.
