1. John (You Can Call Me Grandma) Murphy Posted: May 06, 2007 at 06:11 PM (#2355967)I thought about using that, Juan, but I felt it would be funnier if the next person posted it (and it was :-)
Certainly, Bob, and it's a testament to Tanana the pitcher rather than the thrower.
If you pick Tanana, you get a 106 ERA+ in 4188 innings with 240 wins.
If you pick Morris, you get a 105 ERA+ in 3824 innings with 254 wins.
It's hardly a slam dunk to take Morris by any means. In fact, there's a good case that Tanana's better.
One very odd year on the RA side: 1990. He wasn't good that year (ERA+ 75) but he allowed no unearned runs at all. I have his RA+ as 83, and his equivalent record 8-12.
26, Earl Moore, 1908 Phillies. But perhaps you mean unearned runs, that would be harder to find.
The greatest number of earned runs with non unearned in a season is Joel Pineiro, 2005, 189 IP, 118 R/ER, 7-11 W-L
I grew up an NL fan in the late 80s, so you can imagine my surprise when I found out that Tanana ever had a youth!
bbbbbbbbbbbbt (raspberry sound)
No, it's: What?! Does this have to do with Frank Tanana?!!
I've always wanted to post that. I'll leave now, and I thank the members of the HOM for their indulgence.
And yeah, I know, what's that have to do with...
A bunch of us Angel bloggers came up with a Top 100 Angels a few years back (based on perf with the Angels only); Tanana came in 14th and Rich Lederer wrote a nice little piece on 'im.
I think there's an inside joke going on here. I've bit my tongue for a while as to not spoil the fun, but now I'm curious... Where does the quote come from?

Its from a Jayson Stark column.
BTF Wiki: What does this have to do with Frank Tanana?
Thanks. :-)
I imagine people under age 30 could not even comprehend that.
