Bob GibsonWho would you rather have on your team. Ichiro,Johnny Damon or Matsui?

Walter Johnson, with some terrible Washington Senators teams, he still managed to win his share of games and had one heck of a fastballBest fastball pitcher ever. Nolan Ryan - Houston Astros
Will Torii Hunter be with the Twins next year?
Babe Ruth, very underrated pitcher with what you could say was a pretty good bat. Not to mention he did all this with a beer in one hand, cigar in the other and a couple ladies somewhere close by.What is the difference between loge seats and box seats at a baseball game? Which are better?
Walter Johnson, Grove, or Clemens -- pick one.Will A-Rod take Matsuzaka deep over the "Monster" on Sunday?
Nolan RyanIn recent years,there was an attack on a player by a fan DURING a game?
Sandy Koufax.His career was cut short by injury at age 30(!!), at an age when many pitchers begin to hit their stride. Nevertheless he is second in career no-hitters with 4, was a 3-time unanimous Cy Young selection (each time winning the Triple Crown for pitchers as well), and was twice the World Series MVP. That is in parts of just 12 seasons (and consider the early years 1956-60 at a discount since he was 18-22 years old)!
.655 career winning percentage and 2.76 career ERA, plus a 382 strikeout season (and 2396 K's overall).
If you want a more modern pitcher, look to Roger Clemens, as much as I hate to say it. Unlike Greg Maddux, he battled many years in the American League, much tougher on pitchers than the NL, has excelled into his mid-40s, has more wins, a better winning percentage, and a similar ERA to Maddux. Too bad he comes off as such a jerk.
I need ideas for posters i'm making for the game. Go CUBS!?
Roger Clemens. What other pitcher has been dominant for so long? He's got great stuff, durability and a tenacity to win. Everytime he pitches, he gives his team a chance to win. Can't ask for much more from a starter.What draws the line as dodger-giant territory in central cali?
Tom SeaverBob Gibson.
Who is the best braves pitcher so far this year?
I voe for Steve Carlton. He played with a bad team in a small ballpark for years and won over 300 games.Sandy Koufax was the toughest, but he didn't last long and had to retire early; and Robert Feller lost four years in the war, lost his fastball early or he'd be my choice.
My former Cardinal...Bob Gibson
Sandy Koufax.
Whats the best trade in history ?
nolan ryan is the all-time strikeout king and has 7 no-hitters, i think that says it allHow about that Red Sox game today?
Cy Young. There is a reason an award is named after him.Roger Clemens's deal-agree with it? Disagree? Don't care?
Easy, Roger Clemens. He pitched in an era with steriods, the DH, smaller ballparks and only in a 5 man rotation, and he still won 300 games and is second in K's only to Nolan Ryan.What mlb pitcher throws a fork-ball?
George Thomas Seaver. A career e.r.a. of 2.86 and 311-205 106 games over .500 WOW !!Anyone else like when Manny Ramirez stands after he hits a HR?
here is why it's not Roger Clemens (or any pitcher within the last 20 years)...the advent of the closer position.Of Course it's Cy young, that's why they named the award of the best pitcher.
