It’s the final day of the Seven Days of Underdog. I’m asking one trivia question each day to celebrate the release of
Underdog cartoons on DVD. The first person to answer the question correctly in the comments and include a valid E-Mail address wins volume one of the Ultimate Underdog Collection. Today’s question:
Name the Cy Young award winner with the highest career ERA.
Update: Rocksfan gets the right answer with Pat Hentgen, with a 4.32 ERA. Thanks to everyone who played!
Mark Davis?
Let me try a second time: Pat Hentgen
Steve Stone
As a loyal White Sox fan, I know this one: La Marr Hoyt, with a 3.66 ERA in 1983 (also notable for being the onyl White Sox to win the award).

Mike Flanagan?

Goodness – how soon we forget! Bartolo Colon!
actually, it’s pat Hentgen, toronto blue jays
Yeah, that looks correct. 4.32 ERA is tough to beat. Next in line is a tie between Colon and Carpenter with a 4.10 career ERA.
It’s got to be Mark Davis. Unless it’s Sutcliffe.
Nah, it’s Davis.
Pat Hentgen 4.32
Oh, career ERA. Damn, I was going for the ERA in their award-winning season.

Hey Joseph Finn…Didn’t McDowell won it as a White Sox also?
Barry Zito.
I win!
just wait, you’ll see…
Genius, you’re right. I’d completely forgotten about McDowell winning for some reason.
