[Giants]

1908 was an amazing year for the New York Giants rotation. They had Christy Mathewson (1.43 ERA), Red Ames (1.81), Hooks Wiltse (2.24), Iron Man Joe McGinnity (2.27), Luther Taylor (2.33), Bill Malarkey (2.57) and Doc Crandall (2.94).  They even had a 21 year old Rube Marquard (only pitched/started one game) and -- no typo -- a pitcher named Bull Durham. Team ERA was 2.14, best the Giants franchise ever saw.

What year was the best year, statistically speaking, for the San Francisco Giants' starting rotation? For the pitching staff overall?

 

Overall - 1968 because the entire league was at a modern era low that year.
