In 1989, Charlie Hough had a W/L% of .435 and an ERA of 4.35. Seems like it would be unusual or even rare for those stats to be "the same" (of course they're not really the same but you know what I mean). Any thoughts?

That's the kind of thing I was wondering about. There's really a pretty narrow margin here - I think - cause there's probably nobody who had a .750 W/L% and a 7.50 ERA one season ....

There are 31 pitchers with 50 or more innings pitched whose WL was a tenth of their ERA, recently Greinke with 417.
The rest are here:

The top(?) was 538 by Doug Davis in 2000.
The toughest luck was 250 by Denny Riddleberger in 1972.

My great great grandfather told me that Lip Pike used deer antler spray in 1873 when he led the league with 4 HRs. Discuss.

But seriously: in 1881 he was accused of throwing games, & was banned from the NL at season's end.

Actually, if there were any real ambiguity as to who the pronoun in Post 13 referred to, it would be between Lip Pike and ipitch's great great grandfather.
