4 20 game winners and ring winner in a $110 mil split cap ($65 mil hitting, $45 mil pitching) theme league, so not much precedential value. Regardless of the theme it helps when a team leads the league in runs:

Here's the link to the league:

It's worthy to note that runner up nomadbrad had 3 20 game winners and a pitcher that went 19-20. Here's the link to Brad's team, which was second in runs scored:

Denny McClain, 31-8 and a nice 2.27 ERA with three games to go on this $100M team -- which may also have four 20 winners if Lefty Gomez prevails in his last start:

McClain also had 9 shutouts, and the team had 27! I remember the Last Druid used to love McClain, now I see why. I used to not use him much because I didn't like the +2 hold rating, but that's the only real blemish on his card and an over-estimation on my part of the value of hold ratings.

My record is Sandy Koufax at 33 wins -- https://365.strat-o-matic.com/team/1641242

This is really a great team. J. Gibson, Ruth, Barry Bonds, McCovey, Snider, A. Vaughan, J. Morgan, Chipper Jones. How the manager got all these players on the same team is beyond me. 4 starting pitchers each with no less than 23 wins.

101 wins, but no ring!

HAL lets you have no-hitters? He has subbed in closers for me with two eight inning no-hitters!

Here's a team with four 20 gamers:

Pete led the league in wins, third in era, and second in WHIP, but apparently strikeouts are more important when awards are concerned...

For what it's worth, I found a sixth team with four 20 game winners: Sweeney (20), King (20), Koufax (26) & McDowell (22). The team won 91 games. There were only 3 wins from the bullpen, which is how they got four 20 game winners, including a 26 game winner, out 91 wins. Lost in the Finals.

Just finishing up a season with (4) 20 game winners:

Marichal 24
Whitney 22
Seaver 20
Ford 20

142 Complete Games between them, with Tom Seaver going a perfect 40 for 40 in complete games.
