Winfield and Thomas are really the only baseball giants who have out in enough time even be in the discussion of being a GREAT. They just break down too young.
also the Big Unit
Not what I think of when I hear “giant”, but I will grant that he qualifies.
That guy is a scrub. Got clobbered TWICE by Eli Manning 'head to head' on the biggest stage
Are you kidding? Dude was a literal 6'11" giant
By the transitive property we can conclude that Eli would have REALLY kicked the crap out of Mahomes in a big game.
Hence, “he qualifies.”
Jared Goff and Russell Wilson have beaten Mahomes head to head
So you would take Pedro over Clemens and Maddux?EXACTLY
Probably so yes. For just one game at their peak. Maybe Lincecum too but that's the homer in me.
No, I meant on the overall all-time rankings. This is a tough assignment, but I think Pedro is the best I ever saw. Clemens, Randy and Maddux all in the conversation for me, though.
You can’t take a persons career-wide resume and then ask for a single game. If you are looking at a single game, Timmeh HAS to be in THAT discussion. But if you look at the whole picture, Timmeh wouldn’t come in until maybe #2000.
Fuck all those guys, for one game I want Dock Ellis tripping his balls off.
I literally thought of that game as I was writing that post.
For this list more than peak has to be considered. I’d put Clemens above Pedro for sure. Maybe the other two also, as you say it’s difficult
