That season, Walsh would have arguably the greatest pitching year in baseball history, winning 40 games, with an ERA of 1.42. He appeared in 66 games and started 49, with 42 complete games, 11 shutouts, six saves and a mind-boggling 464 innings pitched. Every one of those totals led the major leagues.
