    I went with The Rocket. It's not his fault he gets no run support.

    How old is Smoltz? I thought he would have been over 40, but maybe he's not that old.

    I chose Moyer, who still wins games without a 90 mph fastball.

    I voted for Kenny Roggers but my 2nd vote would have gone to Big Unit.

    I voted Clemens. 42 years old and is still a power pitcher. He better not retire after this year either.

    Clemens is beast.

    ATL, Smoltzie's b-day is May 15, 1967..that would make him 38.

    AA ERA
    12.42
    Roger Clemens

    Nuff said.

    With that said, the guys, which was mentioned in that poll, that are still exceling at that age should be commended for their talent, their arm, and most importantly their commitment to their craft.

    This is really no contest. Clemens would probably have as many wins as Willis or Livan if he had something backing him up.

    I assume the first one is his career ERA because the 2nd is his ERA this season

    Lol. Seems like a pointless statistic to win over some votes.
