but he'd have 135 walks missing by 50 the post-1900 record set by Samuel Jones also of Chicago in 1955 Bret Saberhagen of Kansas City would have a 33-3 record the first to surpass the 30 mark since Denny McLain of the 1968 Tigers But a recent injury could hurt Saberhagen bid because need every start he can get to master the possibilities San clowns on the mound also would likely set a new mark
