Match Bartolo's 20

According to ESPN, Bartolo Colon became the second man to win 10 games in each league (Hank Borrowy in 1945 being the other), winning his 20th overall tonight. Of course, there is more to it than that. There were three other men who won 10 in two different major leagues in the same year. All of the others involve the one-year Union Association of 1884 (when there were three major leagues). Here are all five:

Bartolo Colon, 2002, 20-7 in total-10-4 with Cleveland (AL), 10-3 with Montreal (NL)

Hank Borrowy, 1945, 21-7 in total-11-2 with Chicago (NL), 10-5 with New York (AL)

Jim McCormick, 1884, 40-25 in total-19-22 with Cleveland (NL), 21-3 with Cincinnati (UA)

Charlie Sweeney, 1884, 41-15 in total-17-8 with Providence (NL), 24-7 with St. Louis (UA)

Billy Taylor, 1884, 43-16 in total-18-12 with Philadelphia (AA), 25-4 with St. Louis (UA)

Oddly, there has only been one player who has won 10 games for different teams in the same league in one year: Elton Chamberlain in 1888 was 25-11 pitching for Louisville (AA-14-9) and St. Louis (AA-11-2, known today as the Cardinals).

Here is a list of all the players who have won 20 in one year while pitching for two different clubs (excluding above):
