Many of the old timers that played in the 1800s and early 1900s had more complete games as wins since it was the way of the game during that time that the starting pitcher would pitch the entire game unless he was shelled unmercifully or got injured. Some of those pitchers were Cy Young (749 complete games and 511 wins), Walter Johnson (531 complete games and 417 wins), Christy Mathewson (434 complete games and 373 wins), Grover Cleveland Alexander (437 complete games and 373 wins), and Ed Plank (410 complete games and 326 wins).
For more modern pitchers, Robin Roberts (1948-1966) had 305 complete games and 286 wins, Bob Feller (1936-1941 and 1945-1956) had 279 complete games and 266 wins, Bob Gibson (1959-1975) had 255 complete games and 251 wins, and Juan Marichal (1960-1975) had 244 complete games and 243 wins.
