For a single season, the record is 0.86, by Tim Keefe of the 1880 Troy Trojans. The modern (post-1900) record is by Dutch Leonard of the Boston Red Sox, who had 0.96 in 1914. The only player after 1920 to make the top 40 is Bob Gibson, who managed 1.12 in 1968 for the Cardinals.
For a career, the best mark is Ed Walsh, who holds a 1.82 career ERA.

The record for a single season is Dutch Leonard with the Red Sox in 1914. The lowest career ERA title is held by Ed Walsh, who pitched for the Chicago White Sox and Boston Braves from 1904-1917.

The single-season record goes to Tim Keefe of the Troy Trojans in 1880, an amazing 0.86. Ed Walsh has the career record of 1.82. But it's unfair to compare different generations of pitchers, because the rules have changed over the years.
