Ryan's teams were above .500 for his career. The main reason he didn't accomplish more was not his run support; it was his lifetime 3.73 ERA on the road (in an era of modest offense, no less).
When he wasn't in his usual pitcher-friendly home parks (except for those late years in Texas), he gave up too many runs to be considered elite. Pointing that out is not being a sourpuss. It's just noticing the facts. And making an equal comparison to Ruth or Mantle critics is even further from reality. |
