I'm not going to say Roger Clemens due to the fact that he's been playing since the Mets last won the World Series...
I'm going to say Pedro. He's been the most dominant pitcher I have ever seen. Having multiple 300K seasons doesn't hurt either.

I can't see how anybody can say that Roger Clemens is not the best pitcher in our generation. His 354 wins, compared to Pedro's 209 wins, is laughable. Plus, Clemens has 4672 K's compared to Pedro's 3030 K's.
Hands down Roger Clemens!

In longevity and consistency...Glavine, Maddux, Schilling, and Clemens...In dominance Pedro Martinez...Johan Santana had 2 or 3 good years, he isn't even in the same breath as the aforementioned guys....For heart and never say die, Tim Wakefield

I'm both cursed and blessed on this Q because I grew up in an era of great pitchers. I think that Tom Seaver is the best pitcher of my ge-ge-ge-ge-generation and very possibly of any other generation.

Kelly P -I'm glad somebody picked that one up.

There is no question in my mind that it is Sandy Koufax. His career was cut short with arm problems but in those magical years between 1961 and 1966 he put on a display of pitching that set him apart from every other pitcher that has ever played the game. Many of the great players such as Mays, Aaron, Bench, Morgan, and others will tell you he is the best they ever saw and who are we to take exception to their pick.
Edit:
Kelly P. You are correct that Bench never faced Koufax but was making reference to watching Koufax pitch. I will see if I can track down the web site for you.

Well, I have to say three names. Greg Maddux, Roger Clemens and Tom Glavine.

I'll agree with frizer on Sandy Koufax, except Johnny Bench never faced Koufax. He retired after the 1966 season and Bench came up at the end of '67.
Mr Danger was that a little Who there? Saw them in '75.

Career -- Clemens, and it's not even close. Considering his contemporaries include Johnson, Maddux, Glavine, and the fellow named below, that's pretty high praise.
Season -- Pedro 2000. Not merely great, genuinely historical.
