re: Pick 1 pitcher from any era to pitch 1 inning for you

Nolan Ryan in his prime. 101 fastball with a curve that broke about a foot and a half.
ETA: And he could guide it with pinpoint accuracy.
Which would explain why his ERA was north of 3, in a pitcher's era. And his pinpoint control explains his career lead in walks. Ryan's a terrible answer because he would challenge every hitter, and one guy would likely put the ball into next week.

Going with Lefty Grove.

As someone already pointed out, the reason Ryan had a 3.00+ lifetime era is that he leads the mlb in career walks.
Also, he has the highest career walks per 9 inn. at 4.7. Dicey to put him in for a single inning.
I'll cast my vote for Rivera because his numbers speak for themselves, and because, as everyone knows, he's virtually equally effective against righties and lefties.

I said Gibson earlier, but I would also like to see someone who throws an eephus.

Mariano Rivera

I'd go with Gibson. Thought about Goose Gossage since it's only 1 inning.

I love Mo, but this is ridiculous. If 1999-2000 Pedro pitched in the pen he would have probably had a .5 ERA with like 18 k/9.
The guy had a 1.74 ERA with 12 k/9 and a 2.07 ERA with 13 k/9 as a starter in the American League in the middle of an offensive explosion. Those numbers are insane.
