To the person who said Nolan Ryan was overrated
HE HAS 1700 more SO then any other pitcher. Overrated? Hardly.
To the people who believe Pedro was the most dominating pitcher of all time
Incorrect, Pedro is a unbelivable pitcher, but he isn't Bob Gibson, Sandy Koufax, or Walter Johnson.
Baseball is more than stats, it's about scrappiness, and toughness, people who battle 100%. Pedro was definatly not one of these guys.
Pedro or Gibson I'll examine
Gibson pitched a CG 2 hitter against the Sox in game 7 on two days rest. Pretty good huh? Now factor in that he did it with a broken leg, won more than 300 games, and threw a 102 MPH fastball, was beloved by all his teammates and all of St. Louis.
Pedro has never gone on 2 days rest, he benifets greatly due to the nowadays pussy pitcher. He goes on 5 days rest everyday, and is an injury prone, pampered superstar. If I were to have a team to go win I wouldn't Pedro on it, even on his hayday. A guy who abanoded his team during Game 6 of the ALCS this year. Pedro is a dominant pitcher but the best ever? No, not even close.
