Currently the Oakland Rotation is all lefties. Braden, Smith, Gonzalez, Eveland, Meyer. Can anyone remember another time where a rotation has been made up solely of southpaws?

Oakland had one years ago when four-man rotations were common. I remember Holtzman was part of it I think, but cannot recall the others.

It was mentioned in the AP article the other day: Vida Blue, Ken Holtzman, Darold Knowles and Paul Lindlad.
