He was the number 1 pitcher for the Yankees for years in a team filled with stars. He was absolutely a pitcher you'd want in a high-pressure game.
I'd certainly have Whitey Ford way above Randy Johnson in my rankings and tied with Sandy Koufax
My top 5 Lefties list is:
1. Lefty Grove
2. Sandy Koufax/Whitey Ford
3. Warren Spahn
4. Steve Carlton

You are certainly entitled to your opinion but there isn't one stat that backs up Whitey being better than Randy Johnson.
Whitey was very good but he wasn't even a first ballot HOFer, 2nd greatest lefty of all time? No way.
