	these are starting pitchers only. the teams that they have listed for them are teams they achieved an under 3.00 ERA with. for example, glavine is listed as just a Brave because as a Met he never had a 3.00 era or lower.

	this is a good quiz, but there are some errors. Bartolo Colon never had an ERA under 3 with the Angels-he did it with Cleveland/Montreal, and this quiz is missing Mike Hampton, who had a 2.90 ERA in 1999.

	Also, the Dodgers pitcher with a sub-3 ERA in 1997 was Ismael Valdez, not Wilson Valdez.

	gotcha, thanks for the corrections.

	The Dodgers pitcher from '81 is "Burt Hooton," not "Burth Hooten."

	these quizzes are nice but IMO better when split by decade, just too much info in one quiz, too easy to loose interest. Nicely done though.

	Great quiz, Pedro is insane, 10 seasons under 3, mostly in the AL AND in the steroid era. From 98-00, the height of the steroid era, 60-17 with a 2.23 ERA. Ridiculous

	Also Saberhagen had some sub 3 era with the Royals (85-89) Drabek with the Pirates

	i agree about Pedro. when I was writing this quiz and saw all the great pitchers who were either left off the quiz or just had 1 or 2 seasons under 3.00, it puts into perspective the pitchers like Pedro who had 4 or more seasons of under that mark. Shows just how dominant they are, especially in the steroid era.

	You forgot Justin Duchscherer 2008

	smoggy14:	Dec 2nd, 2009 at 19:58 GMT		1 point
	according to baseballreference.com Duchscherer didn't throw enough innings to qualify for the ERA title & that was the standard I used to make the quiz.

	Excellent 5 star quiz! Quick note though... the order of the teams should probably match the order of the years. For example, I didn't get Millwood because it's listed as "1997, 2005" and "Cle/Atl". All I could think of was Jaret Wright!

	Suffron_SD:	Dec 2nd, 2009 at 22:31 GMT		1 point
	Mark Gubicza 1988

	smoggy14:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 01:19 GMT		1 point
	appreciate the feedback....fixed & fixed. looks like millwood was the only one i had mixed up like that.

	Frank Viola's first two seasons here came with the Twins; he didn't get traded to the Mets until mid-1989

	Corms:	Jan 2nd, 2010 at 16:33 GMT		1 point
	You have a bunch of people listed for only one team when they actually posted sub 3 ERA for multiple teams. Most glaring are Saberhagen and Drabek since they won Cy Youngs with sub 3 ERA's on teams that you don't list.

	Doyle Alexander's 1981 ERA was 2.89. Also, Carl Pavano's 2004 ERA was 3.00.

	Awesome quiz. I like the large era size. Fight short attention spans!!!
