Out of curiosity I looked up the top 100 pitchers. I was a bit surprised to see Ryan at #28

I would have guess higher

This list is "interesting".  Having Niekro that high is mind boggling.

Top 5 for me and what I have seen and read.

Cy Young
Maddux
Spahn
Randy Johnson
Seaver

Next 5

Clemens
Walter Johnson
Pedro
Clemens
Gibson/Koufax

That's funny to me that you have Gibson/Koufax the same. When I was in my 20's I was talking to a guy (at work) in his 50; s or 60's and I told him my Dad would've taken Bob Gibson if he needed to win game-7, and this guy said he take Sandy Koufax. He was a LAD fan and my Dad was a Phillies fan.

How's $60 million man doing? Funny I haven't heard anything about him positive or negative. Imagine if the Yankees or Mets signed him
