I probably won't get too many in agreement on this, but I'd take "the Big Train" and any one of the many dogged second bests from any of the Washington teams he was on. If Johnson would have played on average team or better his whole career (like some others had the fortune of doing), he would have blown away a lot more records. I'd even have to say he was the best pitcher ever, with stiff competition from Matty and maybe a couple others. Always been a big Warren Spahn fan too. |

Martin Dihigo and Chet Brewer for the Aguilas Cibaenas. They were the team that faced off against the Trujillo All Stars in the Dominican championship game in 1937, maybe the most legendary game in Negro League/Latin baseball history. |

Matty and McGinnity. But I do want to comment on Roy's post, which included Nolan Ryan in the same rotation as Walter Johnson, Warren Spahn, Bob Gibson and Charlie Hough. I thought that was funny because there's 8 billion guys I'd rather have rounding out my rotation than Ryan and Charlie Hough is 8,000,000,000th on the list. Ryan follows Hough at 8,000,000,001, followed by Anthony Young and the guy I buy my bagel from every morning. |

Early Wynn and Bob Lemon were a pretty good pairing for the Cleveland Indians from 1949 through 1957. |

I've always though it was Smokey Joe Williams and Cannonball Redding. Both young and scary. |

Certainly not the greatest combo, Ryan and Tanana, but easily the greatest combo for pure heat. |

I'd take Ryan and Sam McDowell. It would have been real interesting to have see "Sudden Sam" pitching for a contender in his prime. |

Not exactly vintage either but Robin Roberts and Curt Simmons, before he cut his toe off with a lawnmower, were a solic duo for the Phillies. |
