Hello Baseball Fever Fans,
I was answering a question over on Baseball Almanac about hall of fame pitchers with the worst ERA and gave this list of those with an ERA above 3.59:
1. 3.80 : Red Ruffing
2. 3.67 : Ted Lyons
3. 3.64 : Jesse Haines
4. 3.60 : Herb Pennock
This made me wonder about pitchers in general who had some of the worst earned run averages ever. I set some levels so it could be fair and came up with the following names:
100 IP : 8.86 Andy Larkin
250 IP : 6.99 Bill Kissinger
400 IP : 6.74 Jim Walkup
800 IP : 5.84 Claude Willoughby
1,000 IP : 5.11 Mike Sullivan
Plenty of other levels for you to take a look at, but I hope you enjoyed this brief list nonetheless. Reply with other plateaus if you do the research and share with us your findings...
