Yeah, those two 20 win seasons (exactly 20 in each) really blow you away. Maddux is definitely great, but even if you're just comparing peak years, Pedro was far better than Maddux. Neither belongs in the discussion of who was the greatest pitcher ever.

But "best peak years" and "greatest pitcher ever" are not the same thing. Otherwise, most would consider Sandy Koufax the greatest pitcher ever.

To be clear, are you actually saying that Greg Maddux is better than Walter Johnson?
