25th Greatest Pitcher

[Bill Burgess]

Congratulations to John Clarkson, the 19th Century pitching ace, for winning our 24rd Greatest Pitcher Poll! He scored 25 points from our 11 voters, including 4 first place votes.

The chase pack consisted of Gaylord Perry, the famed spitballer, who garnered 25 votes and 2 first-place votes and Whitey Ford, the Yankees' southpaw ace, who collected 21 votes and 1 first place vote. Whitey came in 1 point ahead of Robin Roberts, the Phillies' ace who carried heavy work-loads. Robin received 20 votes and 1 first place vote.

The 25th round for Greatest Pitcher series is now open. Round 25 will end when Jud (AstrosFan), our Official Tally Master Technician and Decision Caller, calls it. We are now calling our polls after a decent interval, instead of waiting for a certain number of votes. Our former system simply didn't work. We went over a year waiting.

As per our usual, please consider everything. Counting totals, rate stats, relative stats, peak, longevity, special skills, awards/opinions, intangibles, team support/lack of support, special circumstances, time missed for war/injuries, etc.

We are now ONLY voting for the 25th Greatest Pitcher. Please submit your ballot with your next Top 5 Pitchers, and 5 Honorable Mentions, if you would. That would help us out. Thanks for cooperating in this process. As the winner of Round 24, John Clarkson is now eliminated from further consideration. Negro Leaguers are eligible.
