Not unless Big Potato was throwing splittable but not hittable on the mound or soured when he got creamed and his fastballs were not buttered by the batter.

March 29 in Tigers and mlb history:

1867 - Denton True "Cy" Young is born in Gilmore, a tiny village near Newcomerstown, Ohio. Young will earn his nickname for his cyclone-like pitching motion and he will win (and lose) more games than any pitcher in major league history with a 511-316 record and a 2.63 ERA over 22 seasons. Young will win 20 or more games 15 times, and top the 30-win mark five times. He will be elected to the Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers Association of America in 1937, with 153 votes on 201 ballots.

1973 – The "Alert Orange Baseball" is used for the first time in major league history. The unique baseball, an invention of Oakland Athletics owner Charlie Finley, is used in an exhibition game between Oakland and the Cleveland Indians. Finley contends the ball, painted the color of a construction worker's hat, will be easier for both players and fans to see. But pitchers complain that the ball is slippery and hard to grip, while batters are unable to pick up the spin of the ball without seeing the seams. Although Finley pushes for the use of colored baseballs during the regular season, the idea will never come to fruition.

1988: Detroit returns John Wetteland to the Dodgers.

We Declare Peace on War.
from Seamheads

The structure of PEACE is similar to Factor12. However, adjustments have been made to account for rules changes and playing field alterations.
Innings Pitched (IP) has been adjusted for the distance between the pitcher?s mound/box and home plate (1876-1892).
Home Runs Allowed (HRA) has been adjusted for the Dead Ball Era (1876-1919).
Bases On Balls (BB) has been adjusted for the 19th century rules on the number of called balls (1876-1888).
Strikeouts (SO) has been adjusted for the seasons in which overhand pitching was permitted at a distance of 50 feet (1884-1892).
Total Bases Allowed (TB) has been estimated for 1876-1944 (data unavailable).
Earned Runs (ER) has been adjusted for 1876-1968 to account for the varying mound heights, or lack thereof.

These adjustments make is possible to compare pitchers across the different eras of baseball.
