Obviously, Ryan isn't the best pitcher ever, but he was a fine pitcher. He turned in the innings and had a fine lifetime ERA. You can't pitch as many years as he did with a lifetime 3.19 ERA and not be darned good. He pitched for many marginal teams. I'd pick Seaver as the best pitcher of the generation, and comparable to Mathewson.

In my opinion, Ripken Jr is overrated.
