Pitchers you select do not have to be playing ball now. They can be from the past. Unless of course you prefer pitchers from today's era. It's up to you. Just remember 1 from the American League and 1 from the National league.

Some really good answers... and I particularly like the mention of pitchers who pitched in both leagues (Clemens and Ryan especially) but me add the true measure of consistency, Greg Maddux. Not only a great pitcher, but all of those Gold Gloves, and no slouch with a bat!

Thanks for asking.
From the National League it's "Lefty", Steve Carlton of the Philadelphia Phillies. His strength, consistency and great performance with a second-rate club behind him makes his choice easy with his 300+ victories.
From the American League, it's "Rapid Robert", Bob Feller
of the Cleveland Indians. Despite losing four full seasons during WWII and having his arm go bad so that he lost his fastball prematurely, he still won 260+ games and won 20 games after the fastball had gone.
Looking forward to others' answers.

The real question is Who is your Favorite Pitcher Now. But my favorite pitcher has to be Bob Feller

Clemens, and Clemens.
Rocket is the best pitcher post-WWII and one of three candidates for Greatest Pitcher In History.
I'll have to live a long, long time -- which I'll be happy to do -- before I witness anyone at his level again.

AL - Brett Saberhagen - not the best by a longshot, but my favorite
NL - Bob Gibson - the guy just flat out dominated

Right now I'd have to go with Josh Beckett and Jake Peavy. I just like the way they play the game.
