Most people would much prefer to watch the ultimate power pitcher, with a borderline personality at that, than a great artist.
85-05 was an incredible two decades for pitchers. Clemens, Maddux, Randy Johnson, Pedro, Glavine.
PS Leaving aside the PED issue, I would dispute that Maddux was better than Clemens. The numbers do not bear that out.
