How to use it
Pick two pitchers and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first pitcher, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the titles in the chosen unit. Try 1 Clemens against Gibsons to compare record against two timer.
Counts are career AL plus NL totals. The 1956 to 1966 single award era sits inside these sums. Relievers rarely win and stay noted.
