After his first 6 yrs, Koufax was untouchable...Ryan never had an era over 4 until he was 46 yrs old---he led the league in 1987 with an era of 2.76 and his record was 8-16...can you spell frustration....

check out 1981---era of 1.69 and he was 11-5--gave up 2 hr's and 28 runs in 21 games started...

I can only imagine if he played for a winner...

Nolan suffered from two things, one was with all the k's, the fielders tended to fall asleep behind him. Lots of errors didn't help him, and he played for a lot of mediocre teams.
