I'm not a Braves fan but that 1990's Braves rotation was the best of all time IMO.

Maddux was great for a long period of time, but he was nowhere near as good as Pedro's peak. No pitcher ever had a more dominant season as Pedro in 1999.
Offense was pretty ridiculous that year. Also, strikeouts were a lot less frequent that year than they are now.
