    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.

    Koufax not in the top 10?
    Koufax not in the top 20?
    I now consider that list to
    Be nothing but Horse Hooey. 
    Zack F'in Greinke 9 spots higher than Koufax?
    Who made the list? Greinke's mom?

    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

    Those two were both amazing to me.  Gibson would have won another WS pretty much by himself if Curt Flood didn't misplay that ball.

    Koufax threw 2 pitches and got everybody out.

    I wouldn't have a problem having either of them starting a game 7 for me.

    This has tio be Kyle Tucker.

    I am shocked at how bad he is actually doing.  He's better than this.

    I'd like my chances on either one of them winning game-7 too
