but I tried to go outside the box a little. Pedro was filthy during the era 1996-2000 and this was during a hitters paradise

Ali (Cassius Clay) in early/mid 1970's - pretty darn awesome if you consider the depth and quality of competition at that point.

Also Dizzy Dean 1932-1936 = like wow! Check out his stats.

Walter Johnson, 1912-16. 58.7 pitching WAR, averaged 30 wins and a 1.55 ERA.

I watched almost all of Pedro's starts during that run and it was a sight to behold! At his best, he made good hitters look absolutely foolish. I can't believe that he never threw a no-no.
