These are the only career totals I could find matching 2008. It's pretty lucky to have even this many. For example, if I had been looking for 2009, I would have found only one match (I forget now what category that was, though.)

    Nice!

    Here:

    http://www.bb-ref.com/pi/shareit/YmeA

    are the pitchers with exactly 20 career wins, ranked by career losses. So we have a guy for next year, Dick Hughes, who was 20-09 in his career. And we have a guy for year 2044, Tommy Boggs, and a bunch in between.

    (Just so as not to confuse anybody, Oscar was looking at single-season records, and I am commenting on career records here.)

    Here's another 20-08 (SB-CS) list.

    The Rockies were 20-8 in September last year, and the Red Sox were 20-8 in May.

    And wasn't Josh Beckett 20-8?

  5. ImAShark Says:
    January 1st, 2008 at 7:58 pm

    Nevermind, I just checked and Beckett was 20-7.

    20-07 in 2007?
    Man, you just opened a new can of worms :) (or was that already discussed in an old post?)

  7. OscarAzocar Says:
    January 1st, 2008 at 8:53 pm

    Alright, I did a quick check.
    Beckett joined Eddie Plank 19-06 in 1906 and Ed Summers 1909 in 1909.
