852 complete games were pitched in 1970. There were 470 complete games in the National League with the Chicago Cubs staff pitching the most at 59. The Los Angeles Dodgers led the league in complete game shutouts with 13. The team with the fewest complete games was the Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres tied at 24. Hall of Famer Ferguson Jenkins of the Cubs led the National League in complete games with 24. There were 971 games played in the National League in 1970. That means there were 1942 opportunities for a complete game. The percentage of complete games in the NL in 1970 was 24.20. There were 382 complete games in the American League with the Baltimore Orioles staff pitching the most at 60. The Orioles also threw 12 complete game shutouts which led the league. The team with the fewest complete games was the Washington Senators and Chicago White Sox tied at 20. Mike Cuellar of the Orioles led the American League in complete games with 21. There were 972 games played in the American League in 1970. That means there were 1944 opportunities for a complete game. The percentage of complete games in the AL in 1970 was 19.65. Compare this with the 2007 season when 112 complete games were thrown in MLB, 64 in the American League and 48 in the National League. There were 2,268 chances for a complete game in the American League. The percentage of complete games in the AL in 2007 was 2.82. There were 2,594 chances for a complete game in the National League (there are usually 2,592 but 2 extra are added for the one game playoff between the Rockies and Padres). The percentage of complete games in the NL in 2007 was 1.85.

How many Baseball Hall of Fame submarine pitchers are there?

The only pitcher in the Baseball Hall of Fame that threw primarily submarine is Joe McGinnity who pitched 10 seasons (1899-1908) for the Baltimore Orioles (both the National League Orioles and American League Orioles), Brooklyn Superbas, and New York Giants. He claimed the submarine delivery was easy on his arm and he led his respective league 6 seasons in games pitched and 4 times in innings pitched, his highest being an NL leading 434 innings in 1903 when he pitched in 51 games, had 44 complete games, and 31 wins, also all tops in the National League. In the month of August, 1903 he pitched complete games in both games of a doubleheader three times. He followed the 434 inning season in 1903 by pitching 408 innings in 1904. 1904 was his best season as he led the National League in innings pitched, wins (35), ERA (1.61), games pitched (51), shutouts (9), and saves (5). After his MLB career he pitched in the minor leagues until the age of 54 and, depending whether you believe the stats, ended his career with 480 victories (246 in MLB and 234 in the minors). His nickname was 'Iron Man' but it came from working in iron mines prior to his MLB career and not from his ability to pitch countless innings.
