This is kind of a weird question, but here goes...
What is the highest career ERA of anyone who pitched more than two innings in the Majors?
David Moraga pitched 2 2/3 innings in 2000, and his ERA was 40.50. Was there anyone higher than that?

Yes some mysterios player only known as Lewis in 1890 in the players league pitched 3 innings and gave up 20 runs for an ERA of 60.00.
Keith Osik also had a 40.5 ERA

Someone named Lewis (http://www.baseball-reference.com/l/lewis01.shtml) pitched 3 innings in 1890 and gave up 20 earned runs for a 60.00 ERA
Post 1900, Keith Osik pitched 2 innings and gave up 9 runs for a 40.50 ERA. David Moraga pitched 2 2/3 innings and gave up 12 runs for a 40.50 ERA
