We discuss statistics ad nauseum as qualifying data for Hall of Fame selection, but what about Hall of Famers, who hold records that a casual observer would consider dubious and hardly worthy a Hall of Fame career.
The first nominee to the dubious HOF would be Cy Young, who holds the career record for pitching losses with 315.

As a bonus trivia question, and without looking, who is the biggest loser not in the Hall of Fame?
Let’s see some other Hall of Famers who set records they probably are not proud of. These dubious records of achievements need not be career records. Seasonal or single game records are fine. Even police records will do.
Everyone has records they are not proud of, even Hall of Famers.
