Your second guess is close enough that the judges will give to you: Ted Breitenstein's 1893 season with the St. Louis Browns is #5 on the list. League-wide ERA was 4.66 that year but Breitenstein put a 3.18 over nearly 400 innings.

He didn't make it into the Mayo Cut Plug 1895 set and he was too late for the Old Judge set. I'm not even sure there are any cards of him - anybody seen one?

I am pretty sure there was a T206 of Breitenstein.


This leaves just one more name, who has #1 and #10 on the list...
I know the answer, but since I believe I used 'help' in my research and then just made a stab at it...I will stay silent and allow a more legit 'guesser' to step up.
