Default The big three: Mathewson, Johnson, Young

Posted By: runscott

Johnson had power and longevity that was rare in his time. Joe Wood could throw about as fast, but had a very brief career. Matty had finesse and control, which I would definitely want in Game 7 of the WS. It's a tough call - I'll take both! Forget Cy Young.

But a modern comparison would be interesting - would you rather have Randy Johnson or Tom Glavine or Phil Niekro?
