This or that?

Question

Legends: Sandy Koufax or Nolan Ryan
I'd pick Sandy Koufax. True, Nolan Ryan has more no-no's and more perfect games, but I read 2 Sandy Koufax biographies and I believe that Nolan Ryan was just out there to pitch, just to win the game. Sandy Koufax was there to establish a legacy.

Currents: Roger Clemens or Randy Johnson?
I'd say Roger Clemens. He has established so much during the past years, and he deserves this pick. They're nearly the same age, but Clemens has more wins, more SO's, and a better career ERA.

Currents: Batters: Albert Pujols or Alex Rodriguez?
A-Rod has established so many honors during his career. He has won AL MVP (even though Pujols has done it also) and he has joined the 40/40 club. But, I all in all think that Pujols is a greater hitter. He has gotten the NL MVP and best of all, he has a WS ring, something A-Rod doesn't have. (2006 WS) Overall, I'd pick Pujols.

Random Q: 3 no hitters or one perfect game?

What are your picks?

Answer 1

Having watched both Koufax and Ryan in their prime I would take Sandy Koufax.

Roger Clemens is done with base ball and Randy Johnson is going to pitch two or three more years. This will give him 300 wins and pass Roger on the strikeout list.
Randy is only 50 or less behind Roger.
This one is a toss up.

I will say that between these two I would take A-Rod only because he is where no one else is at this stage of his career. Albert may have the ring but he did very poorly in the WS.
Side note Ichiro is ahead of Albert in just about everything except home runs for the same time in the majors.

Three no hitters because it is three wins

Lastly there is no way I would want b.bonds around me or anyone else on my team if I played. He does not think about what is best for the team only himself. This has been said by too many people who have played with him both in Pittsburgh and San Francisco.

Answer 2

Legends: I'd go with Koufax you're right he was their to establish a legend but then again but so was Ryan. But I'd go with Koufax.

Currents: Career wise and currently I'd go with Roger Clemens because he's 2nd in the Strikeout list at the age of like 44 and 2 years ago at 42 he won the NL Cy Young and had 218 SO that's insane for a player his age.

Currents: Career wise I'd go with Alex Rodriguez but I wouldn't be surprised if Pujols surpasses A-Rod on the Homer List. So I'll go with Pujols in the future but right now I'd go with A-Rod.

And I'd rather have 3 No-hitters than 1 perfect game. Even though a perfect game is amazing but 3 No-hitters gives you 3 wins and an incredible milestone.

Answer 3

Sandy was great but he didn't last long enough to even carry Nolan Ryan's jockstrap.
Roger Clemens is better. Johnson had height to fright and speed
to heed (Kruk knows) but spent a lot of time on bad teams.
Pujols has performed like a star from the beginning and can't be
judged right now. Suzuki should be considered here as a pure
hitter.
I guess I'll take 3 no-hitters over 1 perfect game just because it is more but a perfect game sticks forever especially Larsen's

Answer 4

Koufax: Consistently good

Clemens: See Koufax

Pujols: A-Rod=Amazing, Pujols=unprecedented

3 no hitters=3 wins
