Johnson, Mathewson, or Young? Which one do you think was the best?

The substance is more meaningful than the delivery, though I enjoy the delivery too. If possible, I would take every single person on this board being Denny (hi Denny), as then we would have the friendliest board on the internet. Some might not be able to read it , but it would be the friendliest. And for the record, no one has ever been banned for being too nice. Denny is safe.

and back to topic, Johnson's numbers seem to put him at the top.....but there is a CY Young award for a reason.

His writing structure fits that of a poem, however when I start reading.....it is not a poem....just a confusing mixture of letters and shapes and symbols haha.

Second that. Have never met Denny in real-life but he's an old-timer on the board and has always, and I mean always, been a friendly, upbeat, no drama poster. To me his typography is a reflection of his passion for our hobby and his merry personality - I have absolutely no problem with it. (I have a much harder time wading through others' cringeworthy butchering of the mother tongue with the misspellings and impaired grammar and tortured syntax and the rest, which reminds me has anyone seen Barry Sloate lately?) Leon is correct: if everyone here was half as nice as Denny this place would be a friggin' love-in.

Johnson is credited with 417 wins. No one pitched in more 1-0 games.
He lost 26 games in which he allowed 1 run and that's not counting the
the 0-0 tie game against Jack Quinn when he allowed just two hits in 12
innings. With better run support, I think he wins 500. While Christy's
Plaque says, "Matty was the master of them all", the Big Train gets my vote.

& then Spendin sometime in Iraq & Afghanistan
& All Along Bein able to continue visitin my Dear Friends HERE!
