He and Willie Hernandez were quite the tandem.

Terry Felton went 0-13 for the '82 Twins, for the opposite record.

I do recall seeing once that it was Tom Zachary, the same guy who gave up Babe Ruth's 60th home run in 1927 as a member of the Washington Senators. Of course, I was excited to hear that this record was held by a Senator, only to read further that he was actually a Yankee when he had that season. I see here on Baseball Reference that he did indeed go 12-0 for the Yankees in 1929. He started only 11 games that year, so at least one of the wins was in relief. Dennis Lamp's 11-0 falls one game short of this.

Conversely, I've never seen the stat of most losses without a win in a season listed anywhere. I just checked Anthony Young's page and saw that during his horrible 1993 season that was part of a two-season 27-loss streak, he still managed to go 1-16. Any other possibilities?

Some of these guys were vultures (Face had 4W and 1L in his 9 blown saves) but in other cases the reliever is a mop up guy who mainly enters the game when the team is trailing (hard to get an L that way). Aceves picked up a few wins from starters who failed to go 5 IP.

How does a reliever run up a 57-42 record playing with mostly mediocre teams? (He was 57-34 in 8 years with Detroit).
