With this clue, I think Toad Ramsey from Louisville had one really good season.

Ramsey's 1886 season is #2 on the list. He pitched 66 complete games that year (tied with Matt Kilroy for most all-time in a season by a lefty) and had a 2.45 ERA. We're now missing only #1, #5 and #10.

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.

I'm ashamed that I don't have any idea who they are...as an ole' portsider my own self - I have always had a fascination with LHPs, but, I've gotten rusty...had forgotten Toad Ramsey altogether.
Lee Richmond, author of the very first Perfecto- he, I remember. Seems like Ted Brittlestein (and I'm sure that's spelled incorrectly) had a big year way back... anxious to see the answer. My sole source for such information is BBR, and I just 'cheated' and could not find BRef WAR listed...you have my permission to call me stupid. .

Your second guess is close enough that the judges will give to you:  Ted Breitenstein's 1893 season with the St. Louis Browns is #5 on the list. League-wide ERA was 4.66 that year but Breitenstein put a 3.18 over nearly 400 innings.He didn't make it into the Mayo Cut Plug 1895 set and he was too late for the Old Judge set. I'm not even sure there are any cards of him - anybody seen one? This leaves just one more name, who has #1 and #10 on the list...
