Today is the anniversary of their induction. Greatest class ever. Ruth, Cobb, Wagner, Mathewson, and Johnson.

I thought it might be fun to pick their finest seasons....

Ruth: 1921, but 1927 has become legend

Johnson: 1913

Wagner: 1908

Matty: 1908

Cobb: 1911, but 1909 was considered "The Year of Cobb"
 
Yes to those seasons. Ruth's '27 arguably ranked 3rd behind his '21 and '20. Everyone talks about Dimaggio's 56-game streak as the only MLB record out of reach, but no pitcher will ever again throw three complete-game WS shutouts in the same WS. Or ever, in fact. And no team will ever post a WS ERA of 0.00, nor will every game ever again be decided by CG shutouts. This all occurred in the 1905 WS.

The 56 game hitting streak is one that is one that could get broken.

Some that are less likely than a 56 game hitting streak:

511 wins
59 wins in a season
749 complete games
110 shutouts
5714 strikeouts
2795 bb
 
Cy Youngs totals for career Wins, IP, GS, CG, H, R, ER, and batters faced will never be surpassed, or even come close to.

But the biggest is no single pitcher will ever come near 316 career losses. Probably one of the safest records ever.
