Guest Cherni Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Here are the results of ESPN.com's poll, asking 32 of ESPN's baseball experts (named below) to list the top 10 greatest living pitchers. Points were awarded on a 1-10 scale (10 for a first-place vote down to a 1 for a 10th-place vote). NO. PITCHER PTS. 1 Roger Clemens 278 2 Tom Seaver 196 3 Sandy Koufax 192 4 Bob Gibson 186 5 Greg Maddux 177 6 Bob Feller 126 7 Randy Johnson 123 8 Pedro Martinez 119 9 Steve Carlton 101 10 Juan Marichal 71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godtomsatan Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I just mean that of course it's Clemens. Is this really a debate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this really a debate? 1447331[/snapback] I'm sure there are plenty of people that like Seaver over The Rocket (as shown by the voting), but I hear you.

Zooty Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Carlton is getting dissed at #9. He had a better career than Johnson and Pedro and was more dominate than Maddux. Could be better than Feller too but I never saw him play. I don't think he is far behind Seaver if he is behind him at all. Oh well, the more prominate players in one's memory will always be higher.

I Like Soup Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Is Warren Spahn dead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godtomsatan Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Is Warren Spahn dead? 1449254[/snapback] I was going to suggest doing a "greatest dead pitchers" survey, but perhaps with the untimely demise of both Steve Howe and Russ Swan in the last week, maybe we should wait.

Imagine if he hadn't gone to war for 3 years what his final numbers would have been. Not to take away anything from Ted Williams and Christy Mathewson, mind you.
