Fun stuff Bill. I've done this exercise in my head for several of these guys many times, but it's really cool to see numbers/totals listed.
An interesting WWI era player is Grover Alexander, who may have had a real shot at 400 wins. He'd won 30 or more three years straight prior to losing most of the 1918 season, averaging 27 wins a year up to that point. That said, he was sold to the Cubs prior to the 1918 season, so maybe he wouldn't have gotten those 27 more wins?? Regardless, he was on an amazing run when the Great War cut his career in half.
