"The surprise pitcher of the lot was Mark Bomback, a junkballer who had been obtained in a minor deal with Milwaukee in September 1979. McDonald got him in a swap for Dwight Bernard, a relief pitcher. Bomback had nine quick wins by August 10 and was the most effective pitcher on the staff, with a 9-3 record." - Author Jack Lanin The New York Mets: Twenty Five Years of Baseball Magic (H. Holt Publishing, 1986, Page 179)
