Highlighted entry
1980
Phillies Steve Carlton (20-7) becomes the first NL pitcher to win 20 games this season‚ combining with Tug McGraw to beat the Dodgers‚ 4-3. Carlton will win an NL-high 24 games‚ while pitching 304 innings‚ the last ML pitcher to throw more than 300 innings in a season.

It's been 27 years since a pitcher has tossed 300 innings in a season...interesting.
