Good one.

Or Christy Mathewson who pitched 3 complete game shutouts in the 1905 WS. Career WS ERA of 0.97

Maybe the best all-time answer is Babe Ruth: 3-0 in the WS with an ERA of 0.87 (better than Matty.) Plus, he could do a little hitting to aid his cause. In the 2 years he pitched in the WS he yielded a total of 3 runs. He personally had 3 RBI in those games.

You can't make a bad decision with any of those guys.

But.......if I had my choice, I'd take 2000 Pedro. At his best.
