The last to do it was Phil Niekro of the 1979 Atlanta Braves who went 21-20. Wilbur Wood of the 1973 Chicago White Sox went 24-20.

Both threw, primarily, the knuckleball which is not as tiring on the arm as other pitches. Niekro started 44 games and pitched 342 innings in 1979 and Wood started 49 games and pitched 359 innings in 1973.

Prior to Wood and Niekro, Walter Johnson of the 1916 Washington Senators went 25-20.

Joe McGinnity went 26-20 for the 1901 Baltimore Orioles and 31-20 for the 1903 New York Giants. Cy Young of the 1894 Cleveland Spiders went 26-22 in 1894 and 27-22 in 1891 for the Spiders.

Have the New England Patriots ever lost 2 games to the same team in the same year?

In answering this question, I reviewed the Bill Belichick years (2000-present), as conventional wisdom says "Bill Belichick never loses to the same team twice in a season". However conventional wisdom is incorrect. The Patriots have lost to the same opponent twice in a season multiple times since Belichick became the head coach in 2000. 2012 - lost twice to the Baltimore Ravens, 1 regular season game, 1 playoff game 2011 - lost twice to the New York Giants, 1 regular season game & the Super Bowl 2010 - lost twice to the New York Jets, 1 regular season game, 1 playoff game 2006 - lost twice to the Indianapolis Colts, 1 regular season game, 1 playoff game 2005 - lost twice to the Denver Broncos, 1 regular season game, 1 playoff game 2000 - lost both regular season games to the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins As indicated, this list includes only the Belichick years. If a further analysis is needed it can be provided.

How many NHL preseason games?

In the NHL you can play a maximum of 9 pre-season games. Teams often only play 7 or 8 pre-season or exhibition games. The league does not require each team to play the same amount of preseason games, unlike the NFL in which every team plays 4 pre-season games.
