McGlothin was the Angels' number-two starter for three seasons (1967-69) and made
the All-Star squad in 1967, when he tied for the AL shutout lead (6) while going
12-8, 2.96. Traded to the Reds with pitchers
Pedro Borbon and
Vern Geishert after
the 1969 season for
Alex Johnson and
Chico Ruiz, he and Borbon proved valuable additions,
helping Cincinnati to NL pennants in 1970 and 1972. McGlothin went 14-10 and 9-8
those years, but was hit hard in both his
World Series starts.
