Hence why I used the word "arguably". My statement of "There's simply no comparison" was talking about comparing Maddux to Mussina Guy,

Feel free to peruse our archives for it. Regardless, Glavine WILL get in before Mussina because he's got: 1. Five 20-win seasons 2. Two Cy Young awards (one of which he even deserved) 3. A World Series ring 4. 300 career wins Fair or not, these are all things that the voters will look at and nod their heads at when looking over HOF resumes. Guy,

Regardless, Glavine WILL get in before Mussina because he’s got:

1. Five 20-win seasons
2. Two Cy Young awards (one of which he even deserved)
3. A World Series ring
4. 300 career wins

Fair or not, these are all things that the voters will look at and nod their heads at when looking over HOF resumes.

If Mussina had 65 more decisions he would have to go 35 and 50 to "match" Glavine. To compare era's add at least .75 runs to Glavine's era, which based on studies is somewhat conservative. By any measure, there is little question Mussina was the better pitcher. And before someone mentions John Smoltz, Smoltz would have to win his next 57 decisions and somehow delete 3 losses to match Mussina. Glavine in the hall before Mussina?

Roger Clemens, at the age of 42, moved to the National League and posted a 2.40 era in 3 years. The 5 years before he had a 3.99 era with the Yankees and the year he returned his era ballooned well above 4. If anything I underestimate the difference in the two leagues not overestimate. I like Maddux, can't stand Clemens, but to say Maddux is better than Clemens is absurd. Maddux is the greatest right hander of this generation?
