A WS MVP. So I’d say Johnson’s best 5 stand in the pantheon of alltime great stretches oh yeah let’s add in that he had pitch during the DH and the steroid era.

I disagree...Thanks for dropping by and commenting.<br /><br />I disagree. I think Johnson can be compared and the numbers show this.<br /><br />And I don't think "Sandy Koufax was from 1962 Till 1966 the absolute most dominate."<br /><br />Those numbers are partly park illusion.

The Dodgers wheree last in homeruns, batting avg. Runs scored, RBI, Slugging pct, on base pct., in fact the only offensive category that they were competive in was stolen bases. Yet Mr. Koufax won three Triple Crowns in pitching, led baseball in both earned run avg. and strikeouts in all five seasons thru 1966 when he retired due to a condition which could have left him without the use of his left arm,<br />few know that Mr. Koufax had a tumor the size of a calif. Naval orange removed from his shoulder after the 66' season or that for most of that season he could only throw one pitch, the opposition however was aware and it made little difference, ask any player who faced Koufax what they thought of him and all will answer Respectfully! He was and still is a Man in every sense of the Term! We who were fortunate enough to have met him will always remember his kindness and dignity, and wonder how someone so talented could be so Humble! I for one will always honor Sandy Koufax the way he would want it, quietly, privately and mostly with those who feel the SAME!!!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03015896685635955430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-608528753722196209.post-8051899051675155162011-04-12T09:58:07.103-07:002011-04-12T09:58:07.103-07:00Well there is little doubt of Grove, or Koufax pla...Well there is little doubt of Grove, or Koufax place in baseball history, as they were the most dominate pitchers of their respective eras, can the same be said of Johnson,, who had plenty of competition for this title. As to a five year span of greatness only Mr. Grove and Koufax can be compared even remotely, Johnson is a pick-em, his value to the 1990-2000 s can't be denied he unfortunately can not be compared to either Grove or Koufax.......Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03015896685635955430noreply@blogger.com
