John Van Benschoten of the Pittsburgh Pirates has the highest career ERA in major league history of any pitcher with at least 75 innings pitched. His whopping 9.20 ERA is unparalleled, earning him MLB glory which will certainly earn him a spot in the Hall of Fame.

Since ERA is calculated by dividing by innings pitched, if a pitcher fails to record an out, his ERA will be infinity. This has probably happened over a thousand times. The next best answer is: On 8/13/2006, Kansas City's Luke Hudson pitched 1/3 of an inning and allowed 10 ER against the Indians, for a one-game ERA of 270.00!

Being a member of the Hall of Fame has no monetary reward. However, it does mean that you are recognised as one of the greatest players or managers ever as there are less than 300 members. It will be interesting to see what happens when the players from the steroids era become eligible.
He was the Braves' greatest left-handed pitcher. He pitched from 1942-1965. His win-loss record was 363-245. His ERA was 3.09. He was selected to 17 all-star teams and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1973.
Jamie MoyerOpinionI dont know the answer to this question, however, I am fairly certain Jamie Moyer as suggested above in incorrect, although Moyer is old and been in the league a long time. He is currently still playing, meaning a lot of the guys he has face, are not eligible for the Hall of Fame in addition he pitched during the "Steroid Era" so those players are not inIf I had to give an educated guess, I would guess the answer is someone like Cy Young, Dizzy Dean, Bob Gibson -- I think you have to look back in that era to get your answer
Yes Randy Savage is a Hall of Famer. Dang he was my favorite wrestler from his era i loved the days of mega powers (hulk hogan and randy savage as a tag team) I wonder what ever happend to miss Elisabeth No Randy Savage is not in the WWE Hall of fame and Miss Elizabeth died a few years ago of a drug overdose

ERA stands for a pitcher's earned run average.
Not necessarily. A pitcher could have a decent ERA but give up several hits and walks an inning. An adequate way to evaluate a pitcher would be to look at his WHIP (walks and hits per inning pitched), along with ERA
Low ERA is better - Means less Earned runs by a pitcher in Baseball
