Also, compare Ryan and Maddux in ERA+. That stat is less dependent on whether you're on a good or a bad team, and it also adjusts ERA for era. Maddux is better, and by quite a bit.
I don't know of any major rankings list, compiled by baseball experts and historians, that puts Ryan in the top ten all-time among pitchers. A Hall of Famer, yes, and deservedly so. But not top ten.
You just discovered baseball after cable tv apparently. Rave all you want about Maddux, He is barely top 50 on my list, top ten on yours. Live with it, it doesn’t amount to a hill of beans in the long term.I’ll take seven no hitters and over 7000 strikeouts over Maddux any day. Where would Koufax rank on the list without the four no nos?
