The validity of some comparisons are more accurate (IMHO) if we set aside the actual stats. In the following case, I'm using the Cy Young award as the symbol of dominance for which it was intended to signify. However, other good arguments comparing statistical RANKING for each season involved rather than just the stated stats.
From 1991 though 1996 Maddux*, Glavine, & Smoltz won every NL Cy Young.
...extending it out two more seasons (through 1998) and they won 7 of 8.
* - Maddux was still with the Cubs for 1993 award
