Both correct!

Waddell's 1904 season is tied for #6 on the list.

Matt Kilroy's 1887 season is #9 all-time.

We're now missing only #1, #2, #5 and #10.

Another hint: Two of the remaining players appear in the Old Judge (N172) set.

Thinking through the 19th century pitchers they're all righties I believe -- Keefe Nichols Clarkson Radbourn Galvin Welch Rusie McCormick Bond. No clue.

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

Yes!

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.

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.

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.
