Here's one that's been bugging me since you posted the WHIP and H/IP lists last week: What pitcher with over 1000 IP has the most BB/IP?
Tommy Byrne, by far. He had 6.85 BB/9 in 1362 IP (or .76 BB/IP), while second place belongs to Mickey McDermott, who had "only" 5.73 BB/9 in 1316.2 IP (or .64 BB/IP). AL umpires in the 1940's and 1950's called a ton of balls.
I should post the full list since posting only WHIP and H/IP does kind of leave people hanging.
