What can be said about these two that hasn’t already been stated a million times over?
“Tom Terrific” would go on to win three Cy Young Awards, top 300 wins and 60 shutouts, and strikeout over 3000 batters, while his former flame-throwing teammate “The Ryan Express” would demolish the Major League record for career strikeouts with over 5000, also win over 300 games and throw a record seven no-hitters while pitching into his mid 40’s.
Just an incredible pair of pitchers who marched straight for the Hall of Fame.
I won’t start listing their insane stats here since I’ve probably done so on the blog a couple dozen times before, but these two guys were, are and always will be legends of the game.
