Default The All Century Team - A Retrospective
Posted By: Jeff Lichtman

The simple way to compare Koufax to Ryan is to note how they compared to their contemporaries: Ryan's lifetime ERA was .37 better than the other pitchers in baseball during his career; Koufax's was .87 better -- that is a huge disparity. For reference, Christy Mathewson's was only .75 better than the rest of the league.
