Who Is Baseball's Greatest Pitcher?

Jeff Kisseloff. Cricket Books, $17.95 (160pp) ISBN 978-0-8126-2685-8

In a companion to Who Is Baseball's Greatest Hitter?, Jeff Kisseloff moves from behind the plate to atop the mound to ask Who Is Baseball's Greatest Pitcher? He profiles 33 candidates for this honor, including Roger Clemens, Nolan Ryan and Pedro Martinez, as well as players from an earlier era whose names may not be as well known to young spectators, such as Mordecai ""Three Finger"" Brown and Eddie Plank. The lively text is peppered with enough stats to satisfy the most studious fan, and Kisseloff leaves the final selection up to individual readers.
