Dominican pitcher Pedro Martinez made Forbes Magazine's list of the top 10 pitchers of all times. The magazine measured Major League pitchers' greatness by comparing them to their contemporaries. Forbes chose Martinez as its 8th on the list because of what it describes as "a spectacular run from 1997 through 2002." In the hitter-friendly year 2000, he was in a class of his own when he pitched for a 1.74 ERA, compared with a 4.75 American League average. "Not only did he average a 17-5 record for the Montreal Expos and Boston Red Sox over that span, but his 2.20 earned run average during that hitter-friendly era was less than half the league average," reports Forbes.
Others on the list are Walter Johnson, Roger Clemens, Grover Cleveland Alexander, Randy Johnson, Greg Maddux, Tom Seaver, Warren Spahn, Christy Mathewson and Steve Carlton.
