Nolan Ryan actually never had a perfect game.  He had 7 no-hitters, but never a perfect game.  Also no pitcher has ever had more than one perfect game.  In fact, there have only been 17 perfect games since 1900.  \n\nThe 17 Pitchers in Chronological Order: \n\nCy Young, Addie Joss, Charlie Robertson, Don Larsen, Jim Bunning, Sandy Koufax, Catfish Hunter, Len Barker, Mike Witt, Tom Browning, Dennis Martinez, Kenny Rogers, David Wells, David Cone, and Randy Johnson.

As a die-hard Met fan, I was sad to see Glendon Rusch go.  He has spurts of talent.  He has good location, but not the greatest speed on his pitches.  I would much rather have a discipline pitcher like Rusch, over a highly talented but immature player like Daniel Cabrera.

We all know Pujols is the best hitter in baseball. AROD is better than Beltran no doubt.

Albert will get his mvp award on nov. 20th . I'll give Howard his just rewards for being a homerun hitter but the facts are , Pujols is a better all around hitter . A better fielder, a better base runner and now a world champion. He also missed 24 games with an injury this year and still hit his share of homers. The mvp goes to the most valuable player , not just the best homerun hitter.

Pujols is better because he continues his dominance at the plate in the postseason, unlike A-Rod who seems to choke every time he gets there. Just look at last year's playoffs. The reason why the Yanks didn't advance was because A-Rod was not putting up constant numbers.

I can understand some of your selections, but Sandy Koufax???\nHe was probably the most dominating pitcher since Walter Johnson.  Sports Illustrated just picked him on it's all-time team with Johnson, Christy Matthewson and Warren Spahn. He pitched four no hitters, including a perfect game, in four consectutive years. I don't think anyone had a higher strike out  average.\n\nHe was a first ballot HOFer with only 165 wins.\n\nYou should read up on him, and reconsider.

I don't have a list handy of who would be better..   but he's fringe waiver wire material in fantasy leagues - which strongly stresses Ks and WHIP.  I'm from Atlanta and have all the respect in the world for him, but he's about as useful as a Brad Radke or Glavine.

The Guinness Book of Records has Nolan Ryan clocked in with the fastest pitch at 100.9 MPH.

Albert Pujols.\n\nHowever, the best player of ALL TIME on the Cardinals was Rogers Hornsby, who has the highest batting average EVER in a season (.424) in 1924.\n\nAs for pitching, best pitcher today is Chris Carpenter, best pitcher of all time in Cardinals history is Bob Gibson.

Current or of all time? \n\nFor Current -- I'm going with the Rocket (Rodger Clemens). he's older than most players in the league, yet still throws in the upper 90's. last season he entered a game as a pinch hitter in the 14th inning and still threw a shut out. He's unbelievable, plus he has the competitive attitude I like (plus he isn't afraid to throw at batters' heads to back 'em off the plate).

roger clemens. the rocket. hes the best active pitcher all-time, and current, even though he hasnt pitched a major league game yet this year. by the end of the year he'll prove hes still the best. the best reliever is jonathon papelbon

well, let's see, thier is pudge rodriquez (11 gold gloves),\njason veratek (2 gold gloves), who are better both in skill and talent. and then thier are piazza, molina, charles johnson. I am sure that Mr. Martinez will some day be a very capable average backup and pinch hitter, for seattle ! GO BIG RED MACHINE !

Mark Wohlers has thrown 103 in Spring Training,  Nolan Ryan does have the official record by Guiness Book.  But that was clocked by Guiness.  They are not at all games.

Bob Gibson.  1.12 ERA who has ever had that, not Clemens. Did they ever alter the mound because of Clemens, I dont think So.\n\nNolan Ryan 5,714 strikeouts, rocket wont even get 5,000\n7 no hitters, rocket does'nt have half that.  \n\nNolan only has 1 world series championship, but he played for the angels, astros, and rangers when none of them were contenders, and still emassed all those wins and stats.\n\nRocket shops for the teams that will win, and sits out on road trips, and half the season.\n\nI think that no question Nolan is the best living pitcher.

statistically, sure rodger clemens\n\nBUT Curt Schilling is a better pitcher\nwhen he is needed.
