Walsh was the last pitcher to win 40 games in a season. He also hold the modern record for most IP's (464) in a season. He has a SNWL 214-107. He accumulated 256 RSAA of which 250 were racked up in a masterful seven year peak.

Yes

256 RSAA
excellent peak from 1907-12

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.

You gotta stop thinking. Just have fun. - Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez, in The Sandlot I've been going to games since August 8, 1973....and on August 22, 2004, finally, a foul ball came my way. I had to reach for it, and it deflected off the tip of my right index finger. Shoot, if I was only 4 inches taller! Have you read The Baseball Same Game?
