RE: The best pitcher ever: your opinion wanted
Just a little nugget of info. Nolan Ryan never won a cy young award in his 27 year career and was only selected to 8 all-star games. 19 years he was not an all-star.
Nolan was a great pitcher no doubt, but NOT EVEN in the discussion of best ever. Not even once was he considered the best pitcher IN HIS LEAGUE for 27 straight years.
Comparatively, Randy Johnson won the cy young 5 times and made the all star selection 10 times in a 22 year career. Just let that sink in.
Nolan Ryan is one the most overrated players in baseball history IMHO, and this thread confirms it. People are making an argument for Nolan Ryan as the best pitcher ever? laughable.
You have been completely brainwashed if you think Nolan Ryan is the greatest pitcher ever.
