Survey: Who are the three best dead-ball era pitchers?

[Archive]

Based on the original question of the best deadball era pitcher, the total is:

14 - Walter Johnson
1 - Cy Young
1 - Ed Walsh

In terms of the top three, the general consensus appears to be:

1. Walter Johnson
2. Christy Mathewson
3. Cy Young

Since Walter Johnson was the overwhelming choice and an apparent no brainer, I think I will take Chris' suggestion to see if we can get more of a debate going. A new survey question will be on the way.
