Seeing as for some reason whenever I made a poll on the original thread for pitchers, it would start showing old options from previous polls and show certain pitchers twice no matter what I did, I made a new thread simply for the purpose of this poll.
The original thread is at: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1650&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
Information about the pitchers can be found there.
Edit: The winners were Ed Welsh and Mathewson. I don't see Johnson as that unlikely of a pitcher to be made, but he's not going to be made right away. That was really close.

I voted for Big Train and Mathewson, but it was tough leaving Mordecai Brown off the list. Brown was plenty good and Neyer/James credit him as having 2nd best curveball in major league history, behind only Sandy Koufax. That would be a fun pitch to execute in the game.

To once again quote Rizzutio, Holy Cow! haha, how the heck did this change from 6- Mathewson, 5 Johnson, 1 chesbro and 2 welsh (I was ed welsh and Johnson, I was torn between him and mathewson) all the way to 6 Mathewson, 5 Johson, 5 Chesbro, 6 Welsh, and 3 Joss in 30 minutes!

So, Cownip, what is the result of the post since 2 pitchers tied?

Haha, nice try Smiley Face. I know you changed your vote. Still, I decide what the hell, lets make Walter Johnson as well.

Christy Mathewson was pretty darn good, and had a great winning percentage, but he played for great teams. That dilutes the impact. Walter all the way!
