1889. took 27 the following
season and followed with 20
in 1941 before going off to
war. He pitched only a part
of the 1945 campaign, then
won &c in 1916 and 20 last
season.
Just how difficult it has
been for American League
hurlers to reach that 2O-Wln
goal is shown by the fact that
in Al years in the league the
20 or more wins a season has
been achieved but 224 times
During the past decade the
lob has been particularly dill
ficult. with the exception OF
1946. when five hurlers made
the grade, as Newhouser and
Feller h came through
with 26 wins. The seasons
194O-1944, inclusive, e a C n
saw two pitchers hang up 2O
or more wins.
The seasons of 1907 and
1920 share honors for largest
number of 20-game winners.
Each of those years saw an
even 10 pitchers reach the
magic circle, with Adds Joss
of Cleveland and Doc White
of Chicago setting the pace
with 81 wins each in 1910,
and Jim Bagby setting the
pace with 81 victories in 1920,
Cleveland's pennant year.
The 1904 and 1905 seasons
each saw nine 20-game win

wins to top the pack in 1905.
In only one season since
1920 has there been as many
as six 20-game winners. That
was in 1922, VIII e n six
pitchers qualified, with Ed
