The stack of NL pitchers was gigantic...Seaver, Koufax, Drysdale, Ryan, Niekro, Gibson, Perry, Spahn, Jenkins, Sutton, Carlton, ...
The AL stack had Ford, Fingers, Wilhelm, and Palmer.
Any theories why the NL had so many more aces?

This fact is one of the reasons why I argue that Aaron should get more credit when compared to his AL counterparts. Nothing against Mantle et al, but the pitching was simply much stronger in the NL, especially in the 1960's.
