Bob GibsonHow do you break in a baseball glove quickly?
Bob Gibson for the simple reason that he was totally nuts. I think some of the other guys on that list had more intimidating stuff, but Gibson was a known head hunter and a guy who simply didn't care if he took someones head off. In fact he enjoyed it because he was a jerk.Randy Johnson is "hands down", the most intimidating pitcher. Glad his back with the D-Backs in Arizona.

Without having looked at any lists, I'd say Bob Gibson.Don Drysdale would be up there, too, with Randy Johnson and Rob Dibble close behind.
Pitchers with lots of heat and little (if any) regard for batters. My kinda guys.
Stan Williams, too, because (legend has it) he apologized to Henry Aaron for hitting him in the head, only to tell Aaron he was aiming for his neck. Gotta love that kinda stuff.
Randy Johnson or john Rocker....you never knew where the ball was going.

The list begins and ends with Bob Gibson.How can a pitcher who throws 3/4 arm angle throw a nasty curveball?
This former player probably goes back way before most of the people who answered this question were born. but based on stories I've heard over the years I'd say it was Ryne Duren who played in the late 50's into the mid 60"s. He would come into games as a releif pitcher wearing "pop bottle" glasses and squint looking at home plate. He'd fire at least 1 fastball while warming up high & wide into the backstop just for effect. How would you like to be on deck knowing you have to go bat against him? Probably very intimidating. It's not that he was a real tough pitcher but he made you think he couldn't see and was wild as well.add dave stewart to the list.
