I think it's a little unfair to compare Pelty to guys like....Mordecai Brown....Joss....Matty....Plank....Waddell

Hey good buddy, let's continue to play your ERA game. The reasons I didn't use the pitchers you mentioned above in my comparisons are:
Marquard - N/A as his career spanned both thee dead-ball and live-ball eras.
Coombs & Quinn - N/A as these pitchers are not HOFers.
Chesbro & Willis - Their ERAs don't support my contention!
Ted, of course I "cherry picked" HOF pitchers whose ERAs supported my contention - Mama didn't raise no dummy! Much better to use "selective" facts than "alternative" facts!
And Ted, how is it unfair that I compared Pelty's ERA to the ERAs of HOFers of the dead-ball era in which they all had their careers? And, do you really believe your comparison of Pelty's ERA to the ERAs of live-ball-era HOF pitchers is more meaningful?
Take care,
Val
