Only one to explode a bird.

And give me Tom Seaver in his prime over any of them. Not to mention Sandy Koufax.

Interesting that except for Maddux and Sabathia, everyone else could bring it and everyone is or should be in the Hall.

Miss Randy Johnson and that era of baseball. The players are so bland these days. Give me David Wells on a staff today!

Randy is definitely the most exciting pitcher I've ever seen in a live game. It didn't matter if he was on his A game or having a rough outing, you were going to see 12+ Ks, a 450 foot home run, the most fucked up wild pitch you've ever seen in your life, and likely some combination of the three.

I’d love to see more of this list! Quick search got me nowhere. Where might I find more?

I can't say for sure, but this strikes me as a "$20/mo tier Stathead subscription" stat search.

I'd bet no one would've picked Maddux to be second on this list. Painter.
