Something bothers me about calling the loss leader (315) in major league baseball the best pitcher of all time.
If the truncated career of Koufax was too short, then I guess the elongated career of Cy Young was too long.
If Cy Young is the GOAT, then George Blanda is the GOAT, best QB, of all time.
One could put Cy Young in the same basket as McGinnity, if you consider the Iron Man's minor league stats, that nearly equal his major league stats, with 470 total wins and 343 total losses. Their records suggest that in the 1890s and early 1900s, the disparity between the bigs and the minors may not have been that much.
