Great guess! Bob Gibson had 13 shutouts in 1968, the year before they lowered the mound. He is tied for the 3rd most Jack Coombs who had 13 in 1910.
The only other live-ball era players with double digit shutouts in a single season are Sandy Koufax (11 in 1963), Dean Chance (11 in 1964), Mort Cooper (10 in 1942), Bob Feller (10 in 1946), Bob Lemon (10 in 1948), Jim Palmer (10 in 1965), Juan Marichal (10 in 1975), and John Tudor (10 in 1985).

Good guess. Ed Walsh had 11 in 1908, the year he had 40 wins.

Well, when you hear the other guy with 16 shutouts, you might feel like he shouldn't be counted because you have to go WAAAY back.
But it was in the National League, which makes it legitimate to me.
