None required, Val or Brian. Although I never mind making his case, Walter's record speaks for itself. I love this quote from Clyde Milan from "Walter Johnson: King of the Pitchers."
"Tell you about Walter? I can tell you this. If I were manager of a team that had one game to play--the one most important ball game in all the world to play--and the good Lord called down and said, 'Milan, you can choose your own pitcher for this. Jut tell us what you want and we'll make up a pitcher to fit your specifications. He can have Matty's curve, or Rusie's speed, or Griffith's shrewdness and anything else you want.' Well, if that happened, I'd say never mind the specifications. Don't make me up anything fancy. Just send me Walter Johnson when he was about twenty-six years old, and you don't have to add even one little item. He'll do for me, thank you kindly."[/QUOTE]

It may be apocryphal but I remember reading a story where a batter, after taking three strikes from Johnson, turned to the umpire and said, the third one sounded low.

And I wish I could find an analysis I read a long time ago about how many wins Johnson and Mathewson would have had had they switched teams. A bit artificial no doubt, but I think Johnson gained 50 or so wins.

Since I would want to win, I would take Lefty Gomez, since his team won every single World Series game in which he took the mound.

Tough to select someone I have never seen pitch. Before I chose I'd want to assess their demeanor, level headedness, competitiveness, ability to use opponents aggression against them, ability to assess overall game situation, how they perform from the stretch v. regular windup. That said, I'll take Gibson.

I still think Ruth just because those other three may pitch a LITTLE better but couldn't hit worth a damn as compared to Ruth.

Don't underrate Johnson as a hitter. Though he certainly wasn't Ruth, he is the only pitcher ever to hit over .400 and win 20 games in the same season.

And now some more cards for this thread:

WaJo was frequently used as a pinch hitter.

rats60, if you're out there, you have until Kershaw's first pitch tonight to consider the offer. In honor of great postseason pitchers, let's say a T206 Mathewson (Good-VG, any pose, any back).

I’ll take Babe Ruth (3-0, 0.7ERA). Even if he had an off day he might win the game with his bat.
