No cheating!

Nope. Johnson is #6, Scherzer #5, Wagner doesn't have enough innings.

I'll give you a hint, this pitcher just reached the 1,000 IP minimum to be considered for this category.

Yeah Sale was the guy passed.

It was Detroit Tigers legend, Robbie Ray!

Yes, Robbie Ray. I heard it myself during a Blue Jays broadcast here in Toronto. Amazing how many guys on the list are active right now.

Chris Archer is #11, ahead of Nolan Ryan and Sandy Koufax.

Do you suppose it's easier to strike guys out now than in the past?

I still have a Carlos Zambrano mows my yard T-shirt. I got it from a vendor inside Busch about 15 years ago. They'd never get away with that in today's PC world...

I would have guessed Kluber was higher on the list.

My friend bought that shirt at Busch Stadium, then bought a Cardinals fans take it in the Pujols shirt when he visited Wrigley!
