The next five pitchers in career shutouts all played between 1940 and 2000. Who are they?
63 ???
61 ???
61 ???
60 ???
58 ???
Bonus question: Who is the active leader in career shutouts?
My total WAGs:
Bunning
Feller
Wilhelm
Marichal
Koufax
Drysdale
Current leader, Verlander.
Good guesses, but no. Marichal had 52 shutouts, Drysdale 49, Feller 44, Koufax 40, Bunning 40.
Verlander is third in shutouts among active players, with 9.
