For my new avatar, I'm going to go with pitcher Cherokee Fisher of the Boston Red Stockings, who's got an astonishing 15-0 record through the end of July. The real Cherokee Fisher pitched for seven teams in as many years, and had a lifetime record of 57-84. In my replay, Fisher had a 13-15 record before coming over to Boston after the 1872 season, and has been 51-18 since.
