Lefty Grove has 111 league leading black inks. Sandy Koufax has 78 league leading black inks. Lefty Grove has 319 Gray inks. Sandy Koufax has 151 Gray inks. However, despite the astronomical lead Grove has over Koufax in league leading and top ten finishes, it is the run prevention(in relation to the league)that truly matters: Best ERA+ seasons: Johnson....Koufax.....Grove 197........190............217 195........186............189 193........160............185 188........159............185 184........143............175 181........122............165 176........105............160 152........101............160 135.........93 135.........Not good enough to pitch enough innings to qualify 118.........Not good enough to pitch enough innings to qualify 112.........Not good enough to pitch enough innings to qualify Of course, when looking at those league leading categories, DO NOT forget to account for the ballpark advantages: Koufax had 23 shutouts in 85 career starts at Dodger stadium. Koufax had 17 shutouts in 229 career starts everywhere else. Dodger Stadium is responsible for a good chunk of all of Koufax's league leading events. The ability to pitch 1,000 more innings is a positive....not a negative.
