I don't see how you can make this comparison. Nolan had over 1,500 more strikeouts than Roger, he has 7 no-hitters to Roger's none, and he owns the record for the most strikeouts in single-season history. I don't see how you can make that comparison. Sure, Nolan Ryan never won a Cy-Young, but the fact that he didn't is a complete joke. Nolan is also one of the most durable pitchers. The guy pitched over 40 games two seasons in a row, and he continued to play until he was 45, making it a total of 27 years in the league. Clemens is most likely going to retire this year or next. I just don't see how you can say Roger Clemens is better than Nolan Ryan.

Roger better than Nolan Ryan?
I have heard a lot of Sports Reporteres lately, saying that with Roger Clemen's 300th win and 4,000th strikeout, that he is better than the legendary Nolan Ryan.

Re: Roger better than Nolan Ryan?
It's really close, but if Roger can play well into his 40's then he will indeed have the advantage over Nolan Ryan. It's surprising that Ryan never won a Cy Young. I didn't know that, just assumed he had a couple.Cameras or guns, one of them is gonna shoot me to death.Comment

Re: Roger better than Nolan Ryan?
no way in hell is Clemens better than Ryan, just the fact Ryan has 7 no hitters makes him better w/o even having to mention the 5,000K's. and Clemens said this was his last yearComment
