Nolan Ryan Vs. Randy Johnson

[Agent Zero]

In their prime if it was game 7 of the world series who would you have start? and why? I don't know much about baseball so please be as descriptive as possible. I want to learn more about it.

But from what little I know, I would take Ryan. I have seen him pitch a few games and it like nothing I have ever seen.

Randy Johnson in his prime because he's a lefty. Ryan was a great pitcher dont get me wrong. I just think in their prime years, RJ is better

Randy Johnson also....his slider was one of the most un-hittable sliders in the game....

I agree. Not a huge baseball fan, but back in the day I did keep up with it. Randy Johnson was just rediculous on the mound. In his prime, I tend to go with him as damn near the best of all time.

randy johnson faced the task of pitching against guys in the "steroid era" also

Another great point PJ. I didn't even think of that.

LOL.. Dude, you don't think steroids have been around since the 60's? If not earlier? Come on man.

Negative... Arnold Schwarzenegger was doing roids back in the early 70's. the only difference is the ppl now know how to take care of their bodies and know how to eat. Back then it was just a way to get stronger that is all. Trust me man, it has been around for a LONG time.

Ok in those circles yes. But you think Baseball was hooked on it? I seriously doubt it. Until the days of Canseco. But even then, he said it was a brand new thing he was finding out.

the difference is, back then if someone is doing steroids you can see it from a mile away...since then...the steroids ahve been made to be alot of enhancments with minimal physical changes....and also....HGH is only a 10 year old drug...approx. it wasnt around back then....i think it was around in the 60's and 70's but it wasnt near as huge as it was in the 90's and most of the players that used it were no name guys trying to make it.....

RJ because hes a proven winner in pressure situations. RJ and Curt carried the diamonbacks on their backs ironically, lol. His slider was unhittable and had one of the fastest fastballs at the time.
