I'm not a big baseball fan... so can someone explain to me, why is Sandy Koufax on that list?

[/ QUOTE ]

Go look at his stats and you should be able to tell me. Only 2300 IP, and of that, only about 1200 of it was really dominant. Plus, he played in front of a great defense and in a pitcher's stadium suited to his pitching style.

so he is a pitcher with inflated numbers (compared to today, not to his contemporaries), i still think it'd be difficult to overrate koufax or ryan. considering that practically noone puts them close to martinez and clemens.

edit : wording. it came out wrong.
