Another exclusive "club" which I like that includes pre-war players is the more wins than walks club. I only know of three members of this club, although there could certainly be relatively newcomers, I haven' been watching since Saberhagen did it in '94 with 14 wins while yielding only 13 BB. Prior to him was a long stretch to Slim Sallee in 1919, who had 21 wins with 20 walks. And Matty accomplished this as well. But Matty did it for two consecutive seasons: 1913 = 25 wins/ 21 walks, 1914 = 24 wins/ 23 walks.
