    Has an NL pitcher ever gone to the AL and fared better?

    I'm trying to think of an example, but my mind is drawing a blank. All I can think of is guys like Dumpy, Greinke and Anibal getting their heads kicked in so far this season.

    NL has been a monster in the World Series, and I understand that. Although during the regular season its an inferior league. The floor on the dearth of talent on the worst teams in the NL resembles a bottomless pit. Their is not a division that resembles the AL East in the NL.

    I can't think of any recently....Pedro with Red Sox....Cone after he left the Mets and went back to AL. Seems like Bob Welch was with an NL team before he went to the A's and won a bunch of games in the late 80s. Hard pressed to come up with one in the last couple of years.
