In 1996, under new manager Davey Johnson, a star-studded cast featuring future Hall of Famers Roberto Alomar, Eddie Murray and Cal Ripken as well as Brady Anderson, Rafael Palmeiro and more came together to win 88 games and the AL wild card. The O's improved to 89 wins in 1992 as the 23-year-old Mussina tossed 241 innings of 2.54 ERA ball and went 18–5, earning All-Star honors and placing fourth in the Cy Young voting. Mussina's peak WAR of 44.5 doesn't stack up as well; while it's still 66th all-time, it tops only 22 enshrined starters and is 5.8 wins below the average one.

A cerebral pitcher with an expansive arsenal that featured a 93-mph fastball and a signature knuckle-curve—and at times as many as five other pitches—he not only missed bats with regularity but also had pinpoint control. Mussina said it’s a decision he can’t make himself, because he “wouldn't be sitting here talking to you guys if it wasn't for Baltimore and for New York,” but did note that some players have gone in without a logo.
