He had some mind-boggling stats: he pitched 72 complete games (out of 74 starts) and 657 innings, and managed a 1.85 ERA in 1880. Supposedly he won 45 of his team's 47 wins. Part of his longetiviy in 1880 may be attributed to the fact that pitchers couldn't throw overhanded until 1884. But he was 21-3 with an ERA of 1.54 in 1884, so I guess the transition to overhand didn't hurt him at all. He had double-digit WAR 3 times. Great trivia question!
