Young is correct! He is #1 all time with 315 losses.

Newsom is a bit lower - his 222 losses are #26 all-time.

WaJo is correct! He is #4 on the list - 279 losses.

Mathewson is quite a bit lower on the list. He only lost 188 games.


Now we're missing only #2 and #5...

Spahn (#12) and Sutton (#7) are great guesses but they are also incorrect.

Wracking my brain on this one. I suspect that the answer is going to be really obvious in hindsight. Must be missing something very fundamental...

He is a 19th century HOFer. Only Cy Young pitched more career innings than he did.
