Special acknowledgement for futility should go to Jim Brady, for having recorded the most outs while giving up more earned runs that outs. He recorded 19 outs and gave up 20 earned runs. That is tough to do.

After opening day this year Jose Contraris gave up 11 runs in 2 innings his ERA was 63.23

[Grady Sizemore]

Jeff Weaver's was pretty high if I recall

Jim Walkup and Bill Kissinger has to be the most impressive. How did they manage to still pitch in the major for more then 250 IP if their career ERA is 6.74 and 6.99.
