Right but Cy Young got the award named after him.....because of the wins.
Compare Clarkson to Young
Clarkson 12 years 328 wins
Young 22 years 511 wins
Had Clarkson pitched 10 more years he passes that 511, and the award is named after him.
But he didn't. Not even brought up amongst the greatest........all due to longevity.
At that brings us to Mr Koufax, tremendous pitcher no doubt, but the longevity kills him. Just like it did Clarkson in historic context. Sorry Koufax fans, face the facts.
