    Phil Niekro was 21-20 in 1979...Don't think it's happened since then...

    At that time he was the first pitcher to win and lose at least 20 games in the same season since 1906 ...

    Hmmm...After checking through 1906 I couldn't find any 20-20 pitchers so I looked through 1905 and found Boston Beaneaters hurler Irv Young went 20-21...

    Gehrig right on the mark.

    Phil Niekro also was a 20 game loser in 1977 16-20.In 24 yrs he went 318-274 with a 3.35 era and a place in the HOF.
