Rob Neyer writes about who the best pitcher of modern times (since WWII) is. Pedro and Koufax aren't even considered worthy of consideration. Who is? Spahn, Gibson, Seaver, Clemens, and Maddux, of course.
It does strike me as kind of odd that he would use ERA+ as his starting criterion and not include the pitcher with the highest career ERA+ of the last 60 years, though.
