Lowest season era?
According to baseball-reference.com, the lowest ERA for one season in Major League history was a .8571 recorded by Tim Keefe, was was 23 at the time in 1880. However, because there were significant differences between the rules then and in the "modern era" of baseball, the generally accepted lowest ERA for comparison with any of today's players is Bob Gibson's 1.1225 in 1968, when he was 32. Again as a caveat, 1968 is referred to generally as the "year of the pitcher" because the height of the mound was lowered afterward, and the strike zone went from the bottom of the knee to the top of the armpit, until it was changed directly after the season. Bob Gibson won the NL Cy Young award for his efforts.
