1. Cy Young...511 wins
2. Nolan Ryan...All-Time K's Leader and 7 No Hitters
3. Walter Johnson...110 Shutouts
4. Sandy Koufax...4 No Hitters War shortened career
5. Roger Clemens...Too many Cy Youngs to leave him off
and If you want a closer...Mariano Rivera...his post season success speaks for itself.

I'm dominican, so you could understand the passion we fill for this beautiful sport, so I understand you've all forgot two incredible pitchers among all time, so my list goes like this:
1.- Juan Marichal: 8 seasons with more than 20 wins, 243 completed games, pitched once 16 innings to win 1-0
2.- Sandy Koufax: Had like 8 type of pitches
3.- Nolan Ryan: 27 seasons without an injury, and more than 5,000 strykouts
4.- Pedro MartÃnez: Has the most dominant record of winning-lossing Pct., won a Cy Young award with Montreal Expos, a team that just gave him like 1 or 2 runs of support, so he had to manage an ERA of 1.81. Collected 2 more Cy Young awards, and the 4th he would win, was tookk away from him ridicously to give it to Barry Zito (who didn't have better numbers).
5.- Roger Clemens: With 23 seasons, and if he wants he could stay pitching, very dominant, with lots og Cy young awards...
