[edit] Biographical Information
Juan Guzmán was overlooked to make the All-Star lineup in 1993 despite finishing the season 14-3 with 194 strikeouts (3rd in league). On the other hand, he had a 4.74 ERA in the first half of the season, making the exclusion a reasonable one. He also finished the 1993 season with 26 wild pitches, only the second pitcher since 1905 to throw more than 25 (Tony Cloninger threw 27 wild pitches in 1966.)
Guzman again was not selected as an All-Star in 1996. He had gone 7-6 with a league-leading 3.25 ERA in the first half before again improving in the second half. What's more, he would up with the ERA crown that season.
During the beginning of his career, he wore an unusually high uniform number, 66.
