This is why I love discussions like this. Learn something every time.
Radbourn won 60 games in 1884 with an ERA of 1.38. He also won 48 games in 1883 with an ERA of 2.05.

This is from Wikipedia so take it for what it's worth, but it's still fun.
It is believed that Radbourn was the first person ever photographed giving someone the middle finger.
