OK good buddy, I'll play your ERA game to name a few......
Rube Marquard = 3.08
Jack Chesbro = 2.68
Jack Coombs = 2.78
Jack Quinn = 3.29
Vic Willis = 2.63
Barney Pelty =
2.63
I think it's a little unfair to compare Pelty to guys like....Mordecai Brown....Joss....Matty....Plank....Waddell
Take care,
