S,
I knew you would appreciate this article on Pedro Martinez and his 23-4, 1999 season.

The second closest pitcher to Pedro in ERA was David Cone at 3.44, almost a run and a half lower. Pedro had a 2.07. Three players with ERAs in the 4′s made it in the Top 10 of the league that year. Get that? An ERA in the 4′s meant you were having a really good season. Pedro’s WHIP was 0.92 — the next closest wasn’t even sub 1.2 — it was Eric Milton at 1.22. Pedro struck out over 13 batters per nine innings pitched. The next closest was Chuck Finley at not quite eight and a half.
Amazing.
J.

There was no pitcher ever who was more fun to watch and elevated pitching to more of an art than Pedro!
