I’m curious about the old timey Carricks and Wiltses, but I’ll confess I was really excited to see the leaders from my lifetime. My guess was Jaime Navarro, but alas, he surrendered 155 in 1997—and that number isn’t in bold print on Baseball Reference. Navarro’s a guy I remember from his baseball cards; he seemed like the coolest dude, but his performance never matched.
I appreciated the notes about Ferrell’s and Niekro’s bWAR. My intuition said older run-hemorrhagers couldn’t have been bad, or THAT bad, and I appreciate your work here acknowledging that.
This was a fun topic. Anything that invokes Darryl Kile’s name will always get warm feelings from me, but baseball’s beauty shines through when you examine situations and names like this that reveal deeper stories.
Between reading this and Denzel Clarke’s catch, it’s been a fun twelve hours celebrating baseball.
