Yes

256 RSAA
excellent peak from 1907-12

[crazydiamond]

for comparison purposes, his 250 RSAA from 1906-1912 were the best over that stretch, surpassing Mathewson (224), Three Finger Brown (213), and Johnson (199)

Great example of how someone's Peak is just high enough, and just long enough to be considered one of the all-timers. Koufax is probably the best example.
