Ned Garver 3/2 1.5 weeks (1953 Topps RP, IC, & IS Diamond Signatures card)
c/o home
You really have to look hard for a better season that Garver's '51 season, when he won 20 games for a Browns team that lost 102. He happens to to be the first and only pitcher in major league history to win 20 games for a club that lost 100 or more games. He also hit the ball at a .305 clip that season. Since Garver did that in '51, I can think of Steve Carlton's '72 season, when he won 27 games for a team that won only 59 games, and that's about it. Pretty impressive stuff.
I also had a pretty cool IP success today on a 2005 Upper Deck Game Used card. Maybe one or two of you have heard of this guy... Craig Biggio.
