#91 N.L. E.R.A. Leaders:

Tom Seaver.....Another league leading ERA mark for Tom Terrific....at 1.76 a career best mark....what is exceptional is that he lowered his ERA by over a run per game from his league leading mark in 1970....while Tom did not threepeat in 1972, he reclaims the ERA crown in 1973....finished in top 10 seven more times...tallies 12 top 10 finishes in his career....stellar effort was from Dave Roberts at 2.10 for the upstart Padres...a career mark good for ERA sliver medalist....traded to Astros for the next year only reaches top 10 again in 1973.... Don Wilson also with a career best in 1971 with 2.45.....was able to have the 8th best NL ERA the following year....while 1973 and 1974 were adequate output in terms ERA: 3.20 and 3.08 respectively, Don would tragically pass away in Jan 1975.
