It's beyond me how people always pick Cy Young on this one. To me, it's not very close. Not one of the people who saw both pitch would ever choose Cy over Christy. In fact Cy was never mentioned in MVP voting, Christy was four times. But I'll let th numbers speak for themselves:
Cy Young: 22 seasons, 5 30-Win seasons - 3 20-loss seasons, 2803 k's - 210 one year, 76 SHO - 10 one year, 14 seasons with less than 1 H/Inn., 2.63 lifetime ERA - .87 one year, 3.62 league and ballpark adjusted era (lERA)
Season avg: 20-12, 290 IP, 110K, 2.63 ERA (3.62 lERA), 1.13 WHIP
Christy: 16 seasons, 4 30-win - 0 20-loss, 2502 K's - 267 one year, 79 SHO - 11 one year, 13 seasons with less than one hit per inning (two years he missed it by one or two hits), 2.13 life ERA - 1.14 one year, 2.88 lERA
Season avg: 21-10, 274 IP, 143 K, 2.13 ERA (2.88 lERA), 1.06 WHIP
