				 ot - best pitching era? 
 
			
			Had discussion with dad as to the era with the most top-flight pitchers.
 Early baseball with Cy Young & Radbourne
 
 1910's-20's with Matty, Walter Johnson, then Grover Alexander
 
 1930's with Lefty Grove, Carl Hubbell, Dizzy Dean
 
 1940's-50's with Feller, Spahn, W. Ford
 
 1960's with Koufax, Gibson, Marichal
 
 1970's with Seaver, Carlton, Palmer, Ryan
 
 I like the 1970's era - strong.  Dad liked the Matty/Johnson/Alexander era - although Matty and Alexander didn't overlap much.  And the 30's if you throw in S. Paige, wow!
