Tim NewcombWas Steve's Top 5 list from this very same thread:
"Top 5 all-time players not necessarily in order:
Walter Johnson
Lefty Grove
Nolan Ryan
Sandy Koufax
Satchel Paige"
That's what got me going-- the idea that a .526 pitcher could be anywhere near these other guys is just crazy to me, no matter how many no-hitters or strikeouts he has.
I wouldn't put Koufax that high either, due to lack of longevity. Johnson, Young, Grove (and as much as I hate to admit it, Clemens) I see as way beyond anybody else since 1900.
