Nolan Ryan was 8-16 in 1987. I know win-loss record for a pitcher is a poor stat to use, but that's really tough for a pitcher to overcome a .333 winning percentage and win the Cy Young

Have you ever noticed how Fernando Valenzuela just doesn't even look when he pitches? He's a Mayan Indian. Or an Aztec. I forget which one. I get them confused.

1973 he lost to Jim Palmer
Palmer: 22-9 2.40 ERA 19 Complete Games 6 Shut Outs 158 K
Ryan: 21-16 2.87 ERA 26 Complete Games 1 Shut Out 383 K

1974 he finished 3rd to Catfish Hunter and Fergie Jenkins
Hunter: 25-12 2.49 ERA 23 CG 6 SHO 143 K
Jenkins: 25-12 2.82 ERA 29 CG 6 SHO 225 K
Ryan: 22-16 2.89 ERA 26 CG 3 SHO 367 K

1981 Ryan led league in ERA and finished 4th behind Valenzuela, Seaver, and Carlton
Valenzuela: 13-7 2.48 ERA 11 CG 8 SHO 180 K
Seaver: 14-2 2.54 ERA 6 CG 1 SHO 87 K
Carlton: 13-4 2.42 ERA 10 CG 1 SHO 179 K
Ryan: 11-5 1.69 ERA 5 CG 3 SHO 140 K


1987 is a travesty, Hershiser and Rueschel are only two who I think you could have made an argument for over Ryan.
