Fifteen and seventeen on the win-loss line — and eight shutouts with a 2.21 ERA that stays cold. SkillScore still elite. The record said .469; the arm said lock. The cartoons vacuum the runs off the board and leave the badge where it belongs.
8 SHUTOUTS
In 1906 he hurled 8 shutouts — zeros hung on the clothesline.
2.21 E.R.A.
In 1906 his E.R.A. was 2.21 — cold on the glass even on a .469 ledger.
TOP DRAWER
In 1906 he was still top drawer — SkillScore kept the badge honest.
