Wilbur Wood began his first five seasons in the Majors with Boston and Pittsburgh, but he did not accomplish much of note.  He was traded to the Chicago White Sox in 1966, and after a year in the minors and developing the knuckleball, he would become one of the better Pitchers in ChiSox history.

Wilbur Wood had bounced around from the majors to minors in two organizations (Boston and Pittsburgh) for a few years, and when he was traded to the Chicago White Sox in 1966 for a Player to be Named Later, nobody really paid attention.
