It's interesting. So many people love the big lifetime numbers. Koufax only had 6 super years. Keep 'em coming
Georgie Porgie -- hey, man. How's it going?

Saw them all pitch in years gone by and I can tell you that no one was better or more dominate than Koufax in those four magical years in the early 1960's. If you just look at numbers you could come to a different conclusion because the Koufax years ended at age 32 with arm problems. Players that faced Koufax, and the others, such as Joe Morgan, bench, Aaron, Mays, Frank Robinson, and many others have said Koufax is the greatest pitcher they ever faced, who are we to doubt their assessment?

Of all three the only guy that could throw a no-hitter ever time he took the mound was Sandy Koufax.
Sandy Koufax was truly the price of admission.

Personally, as I have never seen Spahn or Koufax, I would have to say Carlton.

The best in his prime was Sany Koufax.
