That's got to be "Toothpick" Sam Jones...I didn't know he'd ever won 20. (flip, flip, look it up...) Yep, "Toothpick" Sam Jones went 21-15 for the 1959 San Francisco Giants five years after he went 14-21 for the Chicago Cubs and leading the NL in losses.

And that's not to be confused with "Sad" Sam Jones who had a 12-20 record for the Boston Red Sox in 1919 and led the AL in losses when he was with the Yankees and had a 14-21 record in 1925. Interestingly, Babe Ruth, Wally Schang and Waite Hoyt were his teammates for both seasons.

Toothpick Sam Jones is 1/8th the answer to the following trivia question: There were eight MLB pitchers who lost 20 games in a season and made their league's All Star roster that same season (only four of the eight pitched in the All Star game. One of them won it).

Toothpick Sam Jones for the Cubs is one. Who were the other seven? They included one Expo, one White Sox, one Yankee, one Colt .45.[url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/jonessa01.shtml][/url]
