I agree. According to their stats, Pedro was more dominant.
It's really not close.
There was talk about a bump in Koufax numbers in 1962. Isn't that the year the Mets and Colt 45's joined the league.
Maybe it's human nature to romanticize about the past. I know we are all major league scouts and since we saw "fill in the name" we can attest to their greatness. Or maybe statistics are all we have to make a true objective opinion.
