I want to see this question turn controversial!
Rabbit maranville’s avg. was extremely low for playing in the golden age of the .400 hitter.
.258 for rabbitt with no speed, power, or defensive prowess. Stole 291 bases but was caught 150 times. 40+ errors in a season 7 times.
Ozzie for lowest HRs I would guess
Jack Morris has the highest ERA
Lowest ERA is Ed Walsh
Wisconsin 2-6 against the SEC since 2007
Smoltz for most postseason wins?
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
reggie for most Ks?
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Post season wins is Pettite with 19 but Verlander is only 2 behind with 17
Schilling had the best winning percentage being 11-2

ARE in the hall of fame.
Once again you are moving the goal post on proper English/grammar.
Just thought I’d point that out to someone who always points out other people when they misspeak.
It really irritates me when people ain't speaking rite smart English. I guess we can't all be Roads scholars.

True but Verlander will be and Schilling should be. In terms of current HOFers its Smoltz with 15, Verlander has 17 and will take the lead when he retires or possibly Kershaw who has 13 and is a sure HOF player as well.

Wasn't the question "most World Series wins (pitcher)" not "most postseason wins (pitcher)" or "most birds killed (pitcher)" ? I wasn't sure whether it was games won, or series/rings won, but I thought it wasn't just any postseason win.
World Series is Whitey Ford and Bob Gibson, they also never had to play a single game in the post season that wasnt the WS.
The top of the list is all guys that never had a post season other than right to the World Series and were mostly during WW2 years. Its much harder to win a WS game going through multiple series than directly there

The only one I was sure of was Jack Morris.
Ozzie had like 26 HRs? I was going to get his career HR total inscribed once but he's too nice of a guy for that. But there's probably some guy from the 1890s who has 0-5 career HRs and his name is like "Smacks McGee" and he played for the Charlotte Ditchdiggers and he swung a tree branch instead of a bat.
The Reggie one was obvious as soon as someone said that.
What are the rest of the answers?
thanks karen.
I dont think i have ever corrected anyones grammar/spelling on this forum. we are not writing term papers here. get a life.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
You should take it as a compliment. You're pushing the boundaries of language, which is part of the natural evolution of semantics. Not everyone can see over the horizon. Be Bold!
Ozzie was under 30 HRs. I think its actually Ray Schalk though who only had 11 and I think hes also the answer for the lowest batting average at .253 in terms of getting elected as a player. WW1 era guy. Leo Dourocher hit .247 but was elected as a manager. Ozzie is very likely the answer for a modern era guy for homeruns.
Fewest post season wins is a tough one, theres probably a bunch of guys tied for that.
Most strikeouts for a non pitcher already in the HOF is Dan Brouthers with 8 a 1800s era player. I believe the modern day one is Wade Boggs with 2 Thats a really tough one as well since a lot of guys like Ruth had significant innings and figured about 30 should be the cut off. Brouthers had 23 innings but Honus Wagner had 6ks in 8.1 innings so maybe hes the better answer. Mule Suttles had 6 as well in 16.1 innings. George Davis had 4 in 4 innings. Its all basically just WW2 and before time frame guys.
