Hall of Fame Pitchers

Dizzy Dean lost the fewest amount of games as illustrated, but did you know that he averaged over twenty wins during his first five seasons?

Who was the most dominant pitcher of the nineteenth century? How about Amos Rusie who won more than thirty games three times and twenty games eight times. Take a moment and agree or disagree on our message boards.

Connie Mack referred to Rube Waddell, who led the American League in strikeouts six consecutive seasons, as the greatest left handed pitcher in history.
