I did above. You conveniently ignored it.

Posts coming in fast and furious did not see it. I don't see how that logic possibly applies to two guys who pitched 20 plus years. Explain to me how I could rank Ryan below Perry but think Ryan was a better pitcher.

I guess that's your prerogative. My list of best careers is very different from my list of best pitchers. Same for hitters. It is what it is. The question asked matters. Who had the best career is a different question than who was the best. And will sometimes result in different answers, even between players with similar longevity. In order to know James' answer to those questions, you have to ask those very specific questions. Not rely on a ranking that's an answer to a different question.

Then how are you defining best pitcher? Best at his absolute peak? Best in a five year stretch?
