Question #35:

In one year after 1990, this HOF pitcher finished top-5 in IP, ERA, BB/9, Ks, CGs, Shutouts, WAR, and hits (top 5 fewest among starters).  His season went so well, he received votes for the Cy Young Award.

He also had a losing record and the second most losses of any starting pitcher in the AL.

Feels like Smoltz

Edit: wrong league

Good guess.  Never got Cy Young votes with a losing record.

Not a bad guess with Morris, but not quite.

Also true.

Not many HOF pitchers after 1990 in AL and not reliever

Mussina?

Nolan Ryan again?

Mussina?

Bingo.  Vintage 2000, Mussina finished top 5 in all those categories, got himself a Cy Young vote, and finished 11-15.

Was that the year Clemens his teammate went 20-3 but had great run support while Mussina was hard luck?

Question #37

This HOFer is the only HOFer to ever hold the single season saves record.

That was his last year in Baltimore.  He was second on the team in wins, as teammate Jose Mercedes had a career-high 14 wins that year.
