Can you name the pitchers with 20-win, 200-K & sub-3.00 ERA seasons?

created by rk559

Enter an answer (last names acceptable) in the box below
Correctly named answers will show up below
Answers do not have to be guessed in order
The 20/200/2.99 marks are premier single-season plateaus for a pitcher to reach. To reach all 3 in one season is very rare. Only 67 pitchers have done it. These are the 25 who did it more than once.
You understand when I say 2.99 ERA, I mean 2.99 and below, just like when I say 20 wins, I mean 20 and above. Bonus answers are not comprehensive.

	Got 22/25. Mad to miss Drysdale and Plank, but Maloney would have been a tough one to get. Got 24 bonus answers...how many are there?

	MonteCresta:	Jun 29th, 2010 at 07:24 GMT		1 point
	No Spahn bonus answer?

	y2jdilemma:	Jun 29th, 2010 at 11:11 GMT		-3 points
	Lets just say, Pete was not the guy I was expecting to get when I typed that last name.

	rk559:	Jun 29th, 2010 at 13:59 GMT		2 points
	Pete Alexander is Grover Cleveland Alexander. Bonus answers are not comprehensive since I don't expect anyone to guess Orvall Overall (1909) or Bill Donovan (1901), etc. I threw in a few who never did it but I suspect will be guessed often. I'll add Spahn.

	Juan Marichal has to be one of the most underrated pitchers ever

	baconstud01:	Jun 29th, 2010 at 15:07 GMT		2 points
	I couldn't believe that Palmer had never done it, so I looked it up. Sure enough, he came ONE strikeout away one season, and seven strikeouts away in two others. Good quiz.

	y2jdilemma:	Jun 29th, 2010 at 16:04 GMT		2 points
	Is he? Wow. Never knew that. Thanks.

	mellybmel:	Jun 29th, 2010 at 16:32 GMT		4 points
	Again, very interesting reading. Young was the surprise for me, only once, putting him in a class with a number of very good but not quite great names. I found this harder than the hitters' one, I guess because of the number of early 20th C names. Nicely done!

	terz619:	Jun 29th, 2010 at 16:40 GMT		-3 points
	why is Glavine and maddux a bonus when they haven't done it?

	smoggy14:	Jun 29th, 2010 at 18:12 GMT		3 points
	young's stats always fascinated me. He had 200 strikeouts just twice. He averaged about 1 walk per 9, 3 K's per 9 and 9 hits per 9. Seems like he couldn't pitch too hard. He'd pitch 350+ innings in a season and only K about 150. He did satisfy the 1.99 ERA and 20 win plateau 10 times over his career. Just never had the Ks.

	rk559:	Jun 29th, 2010 at 18:42 GMT		2 points
	200 strikeouts is definitely the limiting factor here. It's only been done 428 times in history. Combined with 20 wins and a sub-3.00 ERA, it's down to 121 times--42 pitchers did it once, the 25 on the quiz did it the other 79 times.

	trivial:	Jun 29th, 2010 at 19:14 GMT		3 points
	I thought maybe y2jdilemma was expecting Doyle Alexander!

	amwoods13:	Jun 30th, 2010 at 01:08 GMT		1 point
	I'm assuming you intentionally did not include any pre-1900 pitchers who did it, but if so, you should mention that in the quiz notes.

	howard38:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 02:28 GMT		2 points
	Teddy Higuera should be a bonus answer as he did it fairly recently.

	mraithel13:	Sep 8th, 2010 at 20:15 GMT		2 points
	add Lincecum for fun, too.

	Wshntnls:	Sep 14th, 2010 at 04:10 GMT		1 point
	15 multiple timers (+ couldn't spell the war-time one); 13 single timers. Enjoyed this

	yankeetarheel58:	Sep 14th, 2010 at 19:58 GMT		1 point
	Im not questioning the info but how is the batting version a source?

	cocky:	Jan 28th, 2011 at 03:18 GMT		1 point
	Babe Ruth should be a bonus, even though he missed it by 30 Ks his best year.

	jwillard:	Sep 26th, 2011 at 01:54 GMT		1 point
	Halladay should be added for his 2010 season: 21-10, 231 K's and a 2.44 ERA with his Cy Young award. He just missed another season this year with 19 wins.
