Hi, Ross: I would love your opinion of my top six National League pitchers.

1. Sandy Koufax
2. Juan Marichal
3. Bob Gibson
4. Warren Spahn
5. Tom Seaver
6. Greg Maddux

How did you see 'em? Harry Bluebond Los Angeles —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  — -

Ross:

That is a very impressive group you have there, Harry. How did I see 'em? Well, Spahn, Koufax, Marichal and Gibson were retired when I began announcing in the majors so I saw those four only on television. I'm guessing you are talking about the last 50 years. It's difficult to rank baseball talent so I won't try. As for others I saw who could be considered for your group, Nolan Ryan, Steve Carlton, Randy Johnson, Don Sutton and Fernando Valenzuela ( when he broke in ) come to mind. I'm sure that I have missed a few, including some tremendous closers.
