Broken Arrow, Okla. ? Warren Spahn, the winningest left-hander in baseball history and a leader of the dominant Milwaukee Braves teams of the late 1950s, died at his home Monday. He was 82.

The Hall of Famer baffled batters with his high leg kick and teamed with Johnny Sain in the famous “Spahn and Sain and pray for rain” tandem.

He finished with a career record of 363-245 and a 3.09 ERA. He won the 1957 Cy Young Award and was second three times.

Spahn helped pitch the Braves to National League pennants in 1948, 1957 and 1958. The Braves played two seven-game World Series against the New York Yankees in the latter two years, winning the first one and losing the second.

A workhorse who pitched until he was 46, Spahn won 20 games 13 times, matching Christy Mathewson for the most in NL history. Spahn was a 14-time All-Star who pitched 21 seasons in a career interrupted by World War II.

He began pitching in the majors in 1942, when the Braves were in Boston, and stayed with the team through its move to Milwaukee in 1953. He left the Braves after the 1964 season, ending his career the following year with San Francisco and the New York Mets.

Spahn was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1973, his first year of eligibility, receiving 315 votes of 380 votes, nearly 83 percent. Spahn led the NL in victories eight times, including five seasons in a row from 1957-61, and led the league in strikeouts from 1949-52. The remarkable part was that Spahn was 25 before he got his first major league win.

He pitched no-hitters against Philadelphia Sept. 15, 1960, and against San Francisco the following April 28.

His 5,2432/3 innings remain the NL record. Spahn also hit 35 homers, a league record for pitchers.
