Dan P.Due to his accused steroid use, any list including Clemens can't be valid (or at least Clemens' selection is invalid). If he is eventually cleared, then he'd be allowed to be considered on this list. My list of the 5 greatest pitchers is (in no particular order):
Seaver
Koufax
Gibson
Ryan
Maddux
I started watching baseball in 1959--these are the guys I saw for most or all of their careers. If I had to pick top 5 from pre-WW II, then I go with (again in no particular order):
Feller
Young
Mathewson
Johnson
Alexander
Spahn and Ford from the 1945-59 era.
