Sandy Koufax
altho koufax was the best that i ever witnessed...
i think there's a very good reason it's called the "cy young award!"

I was always partial to Mr Nolan Ryan. He had a look...

Mr. Koufax was dominant the last half of his career. Mr. Gibson, not on the list, was truly dominant in 1968.
One of those choices happens to be the one pitcher with the most wins among those who never won the Cy Young award... The first half of my life I would have thought it would be Christy Mathewson. Having read the book about Walter Johnson that was well written by his grandson, I'm satisfied that The Big Train would be the man to start that Field of Dreams game for me, if I were allowed to manage.

For one season 1968, has to be Denny Mclain - 31-6, Cy Young and MVP , and Bob Gibson certainly should be on the list. He also won the Cy Young and MVP for the NL in 1968.

Close but no cigar. Smokey Joe Wood went 34-5 and won 3 World Series games in 1912 and arguably had the best year of any pitcher ever for one season.

Honorable mention as well to Three Finger Brown in 1906:
26-6 with a 1.04 ERA...wow I voted for "someone else". That someone else being Rube Waddell (big surprise), although he really goes into the category of "what might have been". Career 2.16 ERA, and his strikeout numbers at that time were unheard of (349 in 1904).
