Name the last team (year and franchise) that had a pitcher that would end his career with at least 25 wins in a season, and a pitcher that would end his career with at least 25 losses in a season on the staff. Winner gets a B14 blanket.

Awesome...though I must admit, when I saw the name Derringer, it kind of clicked in my head that this might be one of those "ah ha" questions. Thank you for the contest! Good question!
I think several folks were trying to answer for a single season team with one of each, a 25 game winner and loser, which I think the answer is the St. Louis Browns, in the 1890s, don't know the exact year.
<< <i>I think the 1877 louisville grays is correct.

That is perhaps when a pitcher did both in the same season, but not what I was looking for.
The answer does fit your question the way it's worded.
