Not Jack though. He wasn't the best pitcher of his generation or his time-frame or whatever any more than Dave Stieb was.

What is outrageously good? Saberhagen won 2 Cy Young's and finished 3rd in another year during the "Jack Morris Era".
Not saying Sabs is a hall of famer but I don't take a lot of stock in this claim. He was the one I could easily think of off the top of my head.
