Frank, that's one of my favorite baseball poems of all time -- the last stanza:

The old-fashioned pitcher,
The iron-armed pitcher,
The stout-hearted pitcher,
Who finished the game.

Default You can only compare what you have seen .....
I'm 78, and I can only compare the current pitchers to the pitchers that I have seen pitch from the mid 1940's on.

Red Ruffing, Spud Chandler, Bob Feller, Sal Maglie, Van Mungo, Ralph Branca, Steady Eddie Lopat, Smokey Joe Page, Preacher Roe, Hal Newcombe, Satch, Allie Reynolds, Vic Raschi, Johnny Sain, Ewell Blackwell, Johnny Vander Meer, Hal Newhouser, Warren Spahn, Bill Voiselle.

To try to compare anything before that, would be a mental fairytale.

Doc Halladay is definatley a throwback. He throws so many complete games and does it in the AL East.

CC's success on 3 days rest was such a big story, but as we all know that was more than common in the dead ball era. Rube Waddell once pitched both ends of a double-header. He not only won them both but pitched shutout ball (and when Connie Mack asked if he could pitch game 2, Rube quipped, 'don't know, let me go warm up and I'll let you know how I feel)! This was in the middle of summer, mind you.

Clemens

How about Tim Wakefield, who else still chucks the knuckler?
Even his follow through looks like it could be from 100 years ago.
