Never new poor old Cy would stir such feelings. I will say this Ill take Walter Johnson in SIM League Baseball any day over just about any pitcher. But as far as being over rated I think he ranks lower than many of the greats but not overrated period.

I have left some WHIP stats from other dead ball pitchers Cy Young does rank lowest among the greats of his ERA but 511 wind is 511 wins.
As far as playing on great teams how bout those 10 years with the Cleveland Spiders 1 playoff appearance. 2 years with the St. Louis Perfectos / Cardinals Now if you take Young’s Best 10 years and rate the 10 best years of all the other greats of the same ERA his stats are just as good.

2 Records that will never be broken 511 Wins 316 Losses

Here are Career WHIPS
Walter Johnson 1.061
Cy Young 1.130
Christy Mathewson 1.059
Mordecai Brown 1.066
Ed Walsh 1.000
Addie Joss 0.968
Jack Phiester 1.089
Joe Wood 1.085
