Is it common for a RP to be ERA leaders?

Dick Hall lead the league in ERA with 1.37. This was over a run better than runner-up Mark Prior at 2.48. Is this a common occurance in ATG?

I would say yes. I've seen RP lead the league in ERA before. I think a one run differential is pretty unusual, though.

I was looking at the record thread and their are a categories for SP ERA and RP ERA over 40 innings. No records for ERA leaders. Don't quite understand why RP with 41 IP is comparable with a RP having 162+ IP

RP's almost always have the lowest ERA. however, to be the League Leader in MLB, the rule states one inning for every game in a season. so 162 IP's to qualify for the LL in ERA.
