It has happened every season this decade, but not yet this year. In 2008, no pitcher has come into a game, thrown 1 pitch and earned a loss.  Here are the players who have done it since 2000.

A couple of notes.

1. In 2006 it didn't happen until August 29.

2. With the exception of Jimmy Gobble and Ray King all of the others apear to be walkoff homeruns.
