Hank Aguirre was a pretty good pitcher too; I didn’t remember but Baseball Reference says he won ERA title in 1962 @2.21 ( of course he was more notable for his hitting, .082 lifetime BA, I remember his name was never mentioned without bringing up his hitting). But here’s the crazy thing I found. Unsolicited ,Yahoo puts up AI summary:

Aguirre won the ERA title in Major League Baseball during the 1981 season while playing for the New York Mets.

Key Details:

ERA Achievement: Aguirre finished the season with an earned run average (ERA) of 2.09.
Team: New York Mets.
Season Context: The 1981 season was split due to a players’ strike, affecting overall statistics.
Aguirre’s performance that season was notable, contributing to his recognition as one of the top pitchers in the league.

He retired in 1970, he never played for the Mets and according to Baseball Reference, he was the only Aguirre ever to play Major League baseball.
