ESPN baseball “analyst” Tim Kurkjian made the argument that Mussina should go to the Hall of Fame thus:

Mussina has a career winning percentage of .638. All other pitchers combined, during Mussina’s career, only had a winning percentage of .501.

Considering every single baseball game has a winning pitcher and a losing pitcher, well. Thanks for your insight, Tim.

Though: where does he get that .001?
