And here are the FLL's career pitching leaders to date:

Code:

EARNED RUN AVERAGE
Michael Watkins     2.20
Hayden Williams     2.29
Dennis Williams     2.31
Joe Norris          2.35
Raul Alonso         2.48
Armando Jimenez     2.50
Will Kirk           2.51
Tom Harvey          2.72
Billy Patrick       2.75
Ernesto Santos      2.80

WINS
Hayden Williams      103
Michael Watkins       97
Joe Norris            88
Dennis Williams       84
Ernesto Santos        83

STRIKEOUTS 
Joe Norris           773
Michael Watkins      693
Raul Alonso          688
Hayden Williams      674
Ernesto Santos       619

SHUTOUTS
Michael Watkins       23
Hayden Williams       23
Dennis Williams       20
Billy Edgar           16
Ernesto Santos        16

SAVES
Kent Allen            54
Paul Crowley          42
Chris Poe             42
Javier Galvan         41
Darryl Anderson       32

WHIP
Joe Norris          1.08
Michael Watkins     1.11
Dennis Williams     1.12
Hayden Williams     1.12
Raul Alonso         1.16

VORP
Michael Watkins    262.5
Hayden Williams    238.3
Joe Norris         232.1
Dennis Wiliams     226.1
Billy Edgar        224.5

I'm almost positive fans in 1960 will think Hayden Williams and Dennis Williams were the same pitcher. They will have forgotten that Hayden threw righthanded, while Dennis was a lefty, and that Hayden was white, while Dennis was black. (Yes, the FLL is fully integrated.)
With any luck, Joe Norris could have well over 100 wins. Of the five winningest pitchers in the league's history, Norris is the only one with a losing record.
Saves aren't as crucial a category in the Dead Ball Era, but that shouldn't mean we undervalue the contributions of pitchers like Geneva relief ace Kent Allen, Canandaigua firemen Paul Crowley and Darryl Anderson, Seneca Falls stopper Chris Poe, and Waterloo stalwart Javier Galvan. In another era, they'd be household names. In this era, they're under-appreciated stars.
