Good question. Steve Carlton won 27 games for the Phillies, in a
year that they were well under .500. They may have only won 60 games
for all I can remember.
However, I don't think that Keith's analysis of Pettite's "record" would
even stand as a Yankee team record. In 1978, when Ron Guidry went 25-3
for the Yanks, I believe that 15 of his wins followed Yankee losses.
