| Re: alleycat9--Koufax should not be number 1. He pitched for 12 years, and for the first half of his career, had a losing record and was a mediocre pitcher. In fact, I'd argue that he's too high--Numbers 11-15 at least should be higher. Koufax was a great pitcher, but what we remember him for was what he did from 1962-1966--but he started pitching in 1955. In reference to this list as a whole, I too, am stumped as to why Jack Morris and Rollie Fingers didn't make the Top 100. As to the up side, it's great to see guys like Don Newcombe on this list--he's largely forgotten today, but he was a terrific pitcher in his short career, and is highly underrated. |
