Ruth would make the list if using overall WAR (including batting) but this one uses the pitching-only version, so Ruth doesn't make the cut.

The HOFer that took awhile to guess was Waddell - the remaining pitchers are non-HOFers.
So, we're still looking for the #1, #5, and #10 seasons.
A couple more hints:
-Seasons #1 and #10 were accomplished by the same pitcher in consecutive seasons for an American Association team.
-#5 was accomplished later when there was only one major league, prior to the formation of the American League. It happened in a year when offense went way up due to a change in pitching distance.
