	Bob Gibson and Denny McLain - NetShrine Discussion Forum
		The 31 win season of Denny McLain in 1968 has been completely overshadowed for the last 32 years by the 1.12 ERA of Bob Gibson.
		McLain's team had a winning percentage of.576 when he wasn't pitching.
		Louis had a winning percentage of.573 when Gibson wasn't pitching so the difference between Mclain's going 31 and 6 while Gibson was going 22 and 9 can't be attributed to Mclain's team being so much better.
