Bobby Witt Sr. was a pretty terrible pitcher who still managed to hang around the same way Bergen did. Witt pitched more than 2400 innings and finished his career with a 4.83 ERA and an ERA+ of 91.

Yes, I looked up Bobby Sr. recently and was amazed to see how bad he was for such a long time. He had one good year (17-10/3.36) in 1990 and managed to parlay that into a 16-year career. He led the league in walks three times, wild pitches twice, and earned runs once. He had a lifetime average of 5.0 walks per 9 innings, and also balked 26 times!

He even managed to hit a major league home run and get a ring.
