Here’s a fun list via Baseball-Reference.com’s Play Index Pitching Season Finder. It’s starting pitchers for the Yankees in the “Steinbrenner Era” (meaning 1973 to date) with the most games started where they ended up with a Game Score of 75 or more. (Minimium 5 GS with a GS of 75+ to make the leaderboard.)

What stands out to me is Randy Johnson’s 11 in just two underrated seasons with the Bombers.

I think the issue with Unit was what he did in the other ~50 starts. There were some really bad games in there, IIRC…maybe more than these 11 great ones.

Yes, I would suspect there were more games of the 11 he threw in 05 than 06.
