    You have to be a pretty good pitcher to lose 20 games in a year.

    Fun fact:

    In 1979, when Phil Niekro had 20 losses, he led the league in losses. And wins.

    He actually led the league in losses four straight years from 1977-80, reaching 20 losses twice.

    41 decisions in a season. Amazing.

    And even with all of those losses at #4...the Koosman rookie card is still crazy expensive!
