Ted ZanidakisYou guys can throw around numbers till they are coming out
of your ears. I agree with T206Collector that Cy Young is
overrated.
He pitched on teams who were contenders. Same goes for
Matty (as much as I love him, he was a gentleman), he was
with the Giants, who were the NL Champs 12 years during
the years 1904 - 1923.
Walter Johnson pitched for a team (Washington) which was a
2nd division team most of the years he was with them. And,
yet he amassed some tremendous stats. Furthermore, he had
the most effective side arm motion ever seen in the game.
The guy most have had a "bionic" shoulder and arm.
