Testing my freshman year memory, but I think our 3 main starting pitchers were Justin Gannon, Jack Munley and Dennis Knight ( who also played in the field). Losing at home was a rarity back then.

If you look at the notable at the bottom, you'll see Barry Bonds, Barry Larkin and John Farrell as participants, in addition to Roger Clemens. Pretty good baseball company, not necessarily people in some cases.
