    Not sure about the 1957 part of it up to the early 80s since the stat wasn't really used then. But I'll throw out Maddux and Clemens as two guesses to get things rolling.

    yeah, i guess people have researched it a bit.

    as for the guess, Clemens is 3rd and Maddux is 7th.

    The late Joe Niekro was the one caught with the nail file.

    Fergie Jenkins, Bert Blyleven or Tom Glavine in the No. 5 slot?
