As always since 2000 anyway.
I'll guess 1924. I know very little about US history for the first half of the 20th century - and this map looks like it would be from that time. Although it's always tricky trying to see who won a state based on the geographical sizes of the counties won.

Because this is a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack, I'll award Pruitt a half-star for guessing the right winner but the wrong year. This was the
1952 map.
12 years later, the map looked like this.

There can't be that many other options left where the Democrats took all of Georgia-Alabama-Mississippi, and not much else.

I'm going to name a year. Your job is to name as many pitchers that got a win, loss, or save on today's date in that year as you can. You may post up to 10 total names and I'll count every correct answer. Winner gets a gift certificate to the ShrimPotato Corral. Post your lists here by 3:00 PM ET.
Today, we're looking for May 25, 1988 . 13 winners, 13 losers, 6 saves. Go.
