But, as you can see Henry, their careers have spanned an almost duplicate number of innings. Pedro has 13 big league seasons under his belt, and Koufax ended his after 12.

Lets see how their five best seasons compare with WARP1.
Code:
   Pedro             Sandy

2000: 13.9    1966 11.8
1999: 12.8    1963 11.0
1997: 11.2    1965 10.7
2003:  9.6    1964  8.7
1998   9.5    1961  6.5
I'd also add that Pedro has another season, 2002, the equal of his 1998 campaign, using this tool.
