Think again, poindexter. And the name was Walter.

Easy there, sunshine. I never made any sort of claim that Randy Johnson was a better pitcher than Clemens. I just think you're making a bit of a leap going from "best pitcher of his generation" (which, while debatable, is at least defendable) to "best pitcher since Walter Johnson". Whitey Ford, Bob Gibson, Hoyt Wilhelm, Steve Carlton, Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, and Sandy Koufax all fell in between, after all.
