Default Bob Groom had a hum drum 119-150 record across 10 MLB seasons . . .

. . . but managed to post several noteworthy accomplishments, both good and not so good. In 1917, while pitching for the St. Louis Browns, he no-hit the White Sox (eventual 1917 WS champions) in the second game of a doubleheader after having thrown two hitless innings earlier during the first game. The day before, his teammate Ernie Koob had no-hit the White Sox. Koob and Groom remain the only teammates to throw no-hitters on consecutive days. As a rookie in 1909, Groom had 19 consecutive losses, which is still a record only once equaled.
