          <description><![CDATA[Outgoing President Donald Trump did not have a lot of support within the Sports community, nonetheless some latino athletes did come out in favor of the president during his four years in office. Here are a few latino athletes who support Donald Trump. <p><strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/donald-trump-t132193" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> had a difficult time with members of the sports world</strong>, he had spats with some of the top players of the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/offside/nba-player-who-spoke-favorably-of-trump-sort-of-20201019-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> and<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/offside/figures-of-the-nfl-that-support-donald-trump-20201019-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> NFL</a>.

<p>While <strong>Donald Trump </strong>did take a strong stance against illegal imigration, especially those immigrants that are coming from Latin American countries, Trump did have 75 million people vote for him, and many of them were Latinos.</p>
<p><strong>Henry Cejudo, Jorge Masvidal, <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/offside/20-sports-figures-who-support-donald-trump-20201005-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mariano Rivera, and Tito Ortiz</a></strong> are just four of the biggest Latino athletes that came out in favor of the president during his re-election campaign. <strong>Here is the relationship of these four athletes with President Donald Trump.</strong></p>

<p>The ex- Yankee closer <strong>Mariano Rivera was awarded the Medal of Freedom in September 2019.</strong> Rivera has praised the President and defended him. “<em>He was a friend of mine before he became President,” Rivera told “Fox &amp; Friends”</em> in July 2019. “<em>So, because he’s President, I will turn my back on him? No. I respect him.</em>“</p>

          <description><![CDATA[The New York Yankees are the winningest team in the history of baseball and they have plenty of playersto thank for that. Here, you'll find everyYankees' retired number ever. <p><em>The Bronx Bombers, The Pinstripers, The Bronx Zoo, The Evil Empire</em>; call them how you want but the <strong>New York Yankees </strong>have always been a synonym to greatness. That’s why not many playershave the honor of having their Yankees number retired.</p>
<p>Throughout the course of their history, the Yankees have won an <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/25-MLB-records-impossible-to-break-20200405-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLB-record</a> 27 World Series</strong>. To put it in context, the St. Louis Cardinals would have to winthe World Series for 16 consecutive seasons just to tie them.</p>
<p>Needless to say, that means the Yankees have had their fair share of superstars. Signing them is a sign of status among <a href="https://www.mlb.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLB</a> players. It means you’ve made it. <strong>You’re atthe top of the world and nothing can bring you down.</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-73">    <span class="item first"></span>  <span class="item second"></span>  <span class="item third"></span> </div>
<p></p></div>
<p>But even among those many stars, just a handful of them have made an everlasting impact. Today, we’ll honor them by<strong> reviewingevery Yankees retired number ever. Note: </strong>we won’t talk about<strong> Jackie Robinson,</strong> whose number was retired league wide.</p>
<h2>Billy Martin- #1</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/11/billy_martin.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>   He won 4 World Series as a player and one as a manager.

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Billy Martin</strong> won 5 <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/mlb-champions-teams-with-most-world-series-titles-20200723-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Series</a> playing at second basefor the Yankees. He was also an All-Star during his tenure in the Bronxand went back after retirement to serve as their managertwice. He was a bit scrappy as both a player and a coach but his passion for the game was contagious, for better or worst.</p>
<h2>Derek Jeter – #2</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/11/derek_jeter.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>   He’s currently the CEO of the Miami Marlins. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Derek Jeter </strong>is the latest Yankee idol, the great captain, the guy everybody in New York wanted to be. Jeter’s relentless work ethic, timely hitting, outstanding defense, and leadershipmade him a fan favorite for 20 seasonsand one of the greatest shortstops ever. He was a 14-time All-Star, 5-time World Series winner, AL Rookie of the Year, <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/mlb-all-time-world-series-champions-by-year-20200724-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Series</a> MVP, 5-time Gold Glove winner, 5-time Silver Slugger, and was one vote shy of beingelected unanimously to the Hall of Fame.<span></span></p>

<h2>Babe Ruth – #3</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/11/babe_ruth.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>   He was traded from the Boston Red Sox.

<p></p></div>
<p>The man, the legend,<strong>Babe Ruth</strong>. <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/yankees-vs-red-sox-15-stars-who-played-for-both-teams-20200806-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">He was great with the Red Sox </a>but became a legend when he joined the Yankees. He played primarily as a right fielder in the Bronx, leading the AL in home runs 9 out of his 14 seasons there. He was also the AL MVP, AL batting champion, 5-time AL RBI leader, 2-time All-Star, and led the Yankees to 4 World Series pennants. Simply legendary.</p>
<h2>Lou Gherig – #4</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/11/lou_gherig.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>   Gherig once hit 4 home runs in one game. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Few first basemen have made such an impact on and off the field as <strong>Lou Gherig</strong> in baseball history. Louspent his entire career with thePinstripes, making it to 7 All-Star Games, winning 2 AL MVPs, and 1 Triple Crown. He was an AL batting champion, 3-time AL home run leader, 5-time AL RBI leader, and won 6 World Series. He was also named team captain from 1935-39.</p>
<h2>Joe DiMaggio – #5</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/11/joe_dimaggio.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>   He was nicknamed ‘Joltin’ Joe’. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Joe DiMaggio </strong>is one of the greatest baseball players of all time. His hitting streak of 56 games is a record that still holds up to this day. Like many stars from his time, his career was interrupted to serve in World War II. He excelled at the center field andwas a 13-time All-Star, 9-time World Series winner, 3-time AL MVP, 2-time AL batting champion, 2-time AL home run leader, and 2-time AL RBI leader.</p>
<h2>Joe Torre – #6</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/11/joe_torre.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>   He’s currentlya special assistant for the league’s commissioner. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Joe Torre </strong>lives for baseball. He was an outstanding hitter throughout his career, piling up 2,342 hits. Still, his impact as a manager was even bigger, as he won 2,326 games and led the <a href="http://yankees.mlb.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Yankees </a>to 4 World Series titles, also being named Manager of the Year twice during his stint with the <em>Bronx Bombers.</em></p>
<h2>Mickey Mantle – #7</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/11/mickey_mantle.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>   He has the second-best OPS+ by a center fielder in MLB history. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Mickey Mantle</strong> surely stands out among most of theretired Yankee numbers. He was one of the greatest, deadliest sluggersand switch hitters in the history of baseball. Throughout his career with the Yankee, he made it to 20 All-Star games, won 3 AL MVPs, 7 World Series, 1 Triple Crown, 1 Gold Glove, 1 ALRBI leader, 1 AL Batting champion, andled the AL in home runs 4 times. He later served as a coach.</p>
<h2>Bill Dickey – #8</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/11/bill_dickey.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>   Dickey also left the team to serve in World War II. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Regarded by some as one of the best catchers in baseball history, <strong>Bill Dickey</strong> left his blueprint in the Yankees far beyond his playing days, as he later tutored the Yogi Berra. Dickey led the Yankees to 14 World Series (8 as a player, 6 as a manager and coach). He was a player-manager, an11-time All-Star, and a reckless competitor and hitter.</p>
<h2>Yogi Berra – #8</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/11/yogi_berra.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>   His real name was Lawrence Peter Berra. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Yankees retired number 8 in honor of the two greatest catchers they’ve ever had, Bill Dickey and <strong>Yogi Berra</strong>. Known for his malapropisms, hilarious phrases, defensive expertise, and power-hitting, Berra was a fan favorite throughout his entire career with the Yankees. He was an 18-time All-Star, 13-time World Series winner (10 as a player, 3 as a manager and coach). He was also a 3-time AL MVP and holds the record for most World Series wins.</p>
<h2>Roger Maris – #9</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/11/roger_maris.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>   He also played for theIndians, Athletics, and Cardinals. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>

<p>Even though <strong>Roger Maris</strong> wasn’t with the Yankees for that long, his impact in the right field could be felt right away. Through his 7-year tenure, he set the (then) record for most home runs in one season with 61, won 3 World Series, was named AL MVP twice, won 1 Gold Glove, and was a 3- time All-Star. He still holds the record for most home runs in a season in the American League.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Even though he was a solid hitter, <strong>Phil Rizzuto</strong> became a legend for two things: His unmatched defense and his bunting skills. Spending13 seasons(his entire career)as theteam’s shortstop, theYankeesretired his number after he led them to 7 World Series pennants. He was also named AL MVP once and was a 5-time All-Star. He’s considered one of thegreatest ‘small ball’ players of all time.</p>

<h2>Thurman Munson – #15</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p>The Yankees have had plenty of legendary catchers that have dominated their time and <strong>Thurman Munson</strong> wasn’t the exception to that rule. He was a leader on and off the fieldandis the only catcher in MLBpostseason history to have a .357 batting average, 22 RBIs, and24 defensives caught stealing. He led the Yankees to 2 World Series titles, was a 3-time Gold Glove winner, AL MVP, AL Rookie of the Year, and 7-time All-Star. That’s how you get the Yankees to retire your number.</p>
<h2>Whitey Ford – #16</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/11/whitey_ford.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>   He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1974. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Whitey Ford</strong> is one of the most controversial pitchers in baseball history. He was often in control and dominant as they come but he’s also known fortricks on the mound. He used his ring to cut the ball, and used a suspicious combination of substances (resin, mud, baby oil, turpentine, spit, vaseline) to get a little edge over the hitters. Even so, he was a 10-time All-Star, 6-time World Series winner, CY Young, World Series MVP, led the AL in wins 3 times, and led MLB in era twice.</p>
<h2>Jorge Posada – #20</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/11/jorge_posada.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>   He was originally an infielder. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Jorge Posada</strong> is the latest legendary New York Yankees’ catcher. His 17 seasons at the Bronx were flooded by success as one of the best switch hitters in the league during his prime, and certainly, the best hitting catcher in the world. Posada had a batting average of .273 and had over 1,000 career hits and 275 home runs. He helped the team win 4 World Series, was a 5-time Silver Slugger, and a 5-time All-Star.</p>
<h2>Don Mattingly – #23</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/11/don_mattingly.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>   He managed the Dodgers and Marlins after retiring. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Don Mattingly</strong> was one of the most dominating hitters and first basemen of his time. His so-called lack of power was topped by his ability to make contact, posting a .307 average throughout his career. He played 14 seasons for the Yankees and was named a 6-time All-Star, AL RBI leader, AL batting champion, won 9 Gold Gloves, 3 Silver Slugger awards, one AL MVP, and was even the team’s captain from 1991-95. Notably, he’s the only Yankee to have his number retired despite never winning a World Series.</p>
<h2>Elston Howard – #32</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/11/elston_howard.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>   He also played in the Negro Leagues. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Elston Howard’s</strong> impact goes beyond what he accomplished on the field. He was the first African American player to ever wear the New York Yankees’ uniform. Sharing time as a catcher and left fielder, Howard was a 12-time All-Star, 2-time Gold Glove winner, AL MVP, and helped the team win 6 World Series. He later served as a coach for the team and was tied to the organization until his passing.</p>
<h2>Casey Stengel – #37</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/11/casey_stengel.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>   His name was Charles Dillon Stengel. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Casey Stengel</strong> had a somewhat productive career as a player, but his true success came during his managing days with the Yankees, leading them to 7 World Series titles. He posted a .508 winning percentage throughout his managing career after logging a 1,905–1,842 record. Notably, he was the team’s manager until he turned 70.</p>
<h2>Mariano Rivera – #42</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/11/mariano_rivera.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>   He spent his entire career with the Yankees. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Mariano Rivera</strong> is the greatest closer of all time and it’s not even close. Over his 19 seasons in the league, he was a13-time All-Star, 5-time World Series winner, World Series MVP, ALCS MVP, 5-time Reliever of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, 3-time Delivery Man of the Year, led MLB in saves 3 times, and holds the recordfor most career saves at 652, lowest era (2.21), and lowest WHIP (1.00).</p>

<figure class="image">  <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:569" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/11/reggie_jackson_yankees_crop1597161874175.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>   Reggie Jackson #44 of the New York Yankees bats during a Major League Baseball game (Getty).  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Reggie Jackson</strong> isn’t only one of the best right fielders ever but also one of the most clutch baseball players of all time, especially in the World Series. Throughout his 21-year career, he was a 14-time All-Star, 5-time World Series winner, 2-time World Series MVP, 2-time Silver Slugger, 4-time AL home run leader, AL MVP, and AL RBI leader. It doesn’t get better than that.</p>
<h2>Andy Pettitte – #46</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/11/andy_pettite.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>   He’s one of the best playoffperformers of all time. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Andy Pettitte</strong> was always in control. His work on the mound was flawless in the postseason, which is the reason why he holds the record for most playoffs wins (19). He helped the Yankees win 5 World Series, was a 3-time All-Star, led the AL in wins once, and was named ALCS MVP in 2001. He won more games than any other pitcher in the ’00s and started 438 games for the Bronx Bombers.</p>

<figure class="image">  <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/11/ron_guidry.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>   They called him the ‘Louisiana Lightning’. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Ron Guidry </strong>dedicated his entire career to the New York Yankees. He served as a pitching coach for years after his 15-season playing career in the Bronx with the very team that drafted him. The Yankees retired his number after he helped them win 2 World Series. He was also a 4-time All-Star, 5-time Gold Glove winner, 2-time AL wins leader, 2-time ERA leader, and AL Cy Young. He was a great leader.</p>
<h2>Bernie Williams – #51</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/11/bernie_williasm.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>   His full name isBernabé Williams Figueroa Jr. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>

          <description><![CDATA[Not even the greatest hitters on earth wanted to face these guys during their primes. Check out the most dominant pitchers in MLB history. <p>There have been hundreds of never-ending debates throughout the history of sports but one that always seems to come back to life every now and then is the one about <strong>the best pitcher in <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb-t48464" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLB </a>history.</strong></p>
<p>However, that’s <strong>an extremely tricky question by definition</strong>. Are we putting together relievers with starting pitchers? Which factors are we taking into consideration? Is it their pitching repertoire? Is it skill, direction, control, power, speed? is it their record? awards matter or do we go beyond the stats?</p>
<p>So, to try and put that conversation to an end we’ve put together a list of<strong> the 25 most dominan pitchers ever </strong>based on numbers, awards, and intangibles. The ranking is up to debate, as there’s no easy way to put one of these legends ahead of another. So, in no particular order, we’ll give you the ultimate list of greats of the mound:</p>
<h2>25. Robin Roberts</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="477" data-size="w:3778,h:3006" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/05/04/25__robin_roberts.jpg_24465465.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Roberts had the first retired jersey in Philadelphia Phillies’ history – Getty   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Stats: 286-245 W-L, 3.41 ERA, 4,688.2 IP, 2,357 SO, 1.170 WHIP</strong></p>
<p><strong>Robin Roberts </strong>was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1976 after a long and successful 18-year career in the MLB. He still holds the record for most opening games with one team (12) and is second in allowed home runs with 505.</p>
<p>He was an example of durability and dominance as he completed<strong> 305 games throughout his career </strong>thanks to his control and accuracy. He constantly tried to dare opposing batters to hit the ball, but it was mostly worthless, as he was a master at using the corners of the strike zone. He made it to 7 All-Star Games and won the ML Player of the Year.</p>
<h2>24. Sal Maglie</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="334" data-size="w:4208,h:2349" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/05/10/24__sal_maglie_crop1589147965398_crop1589148004001.jpg_1029256313.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Maglie later pursuit a coaching career – Getty   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Stats: 119-62 W-L, 3.15 ERA, 1,723.0 IP, 862 SO, 1.250 WHIP</strong></p>
<p>Sal “<strong>The Barber”</strong> was known for dominating with inside pitches most hitters just didn’t stand a chance against. He was always in control of the situation and intimidated opposing batters by always keeping them working and worried about potentially being hit by one of his ‘shaves’.</p>
<p>He was a 2-time All-Star and won the World Series back in 1954 and is one of the few players to have played for the<strong> Giants, <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-york-yankees-t110370" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yankees</a>, and Dodgers</strong> when they were all in New York City, before ending his career with the <strong>St. Louis Cardinals.</strong></p>
<h2>23. Roy Halladay</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="400" data-size="w:4450,h:2967" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/05/04/23__roy_halladay.jpg_231334169.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Halladay died in an airplane accident in 2017 – Getty   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Stats: 203-105 W-L, 3.38 ERA, 2,749.1 IP, 2,117 SO, 1.178 WHIP</strong></p>
<p><strong>Roy Halladay </strong>was recently inducted into the Hall of Fame following a 15-year career in the MLB. He retired as the league’s all-time leader in complete games (67), including 20 shutouts. Also, he threw the league’s 20th perfect game ever.</p>
<p>Halladay was also the 5th player in MLB history <strong>to throw multiple no-hitters in the same season </strong>thanks to his unorthodox style and powerful 2-steam fastball. Throughout his career, he won 2 Cy Youngs and made it to 8 All-Star Games.</p>
<h2>22. Trevor Hoffman</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="400" data-size="w:3504,h:2336" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/05/04/22_trevor_hoffman.jpg_231334169.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Hoffman is still tied to the Padres’ organization as a consultant – Getty   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Stats: 61-75 W-L, 601 SV, 2.87 ERA, 1,089.1 IP, 1,133 SO, 1.058 WHIP</strong></p>
<p><strong>Trevor Hoffman </strong>is one of the all-time great relievers to ever set foot on a mound. Hell, he even became the first pitcher in MLB history to reach 500 and 600 career saves, which is why he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2018.</p>
<p>Hoffman originally played as a shortstop but his poor offense took him to the bullpen, where he’d throw<strong> over 95 mph </strong>throughout his entire career. He won 2 Rolaids Reliever of the Year award and made it to 7 All-Star Games.</p>
<h2>21. Juan Marichal</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="332" data-size="w:2434,h:1349" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2019/11/21/juan_marichal_crop1574371505162.jpg_1031103355.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Marichal wasn’t inducted into the Hall of Fame until his 5th year of eligibility – Getty   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Stats: 243-142 W-L, 2.89 ERA, 3,507.0 IP, 2,303 SO, 1.101 WHIP</strong></p>
<p><strong>Juan Marichal</strong> was one of the first Latin baseball players to make a name for himself in the U.S. His unorthodox style and his high-leg kick were quite intimidating for opposing batters and helped him constantly stay in control of the situation.</p>
<p><strong>His posture</strong> helped him hide what was coming and made him one of the most prolific dart-throwers of the 60s. Throughout his career, he won 1 ERA Title, made it to 10 All-Star Games, and won 1 All-Star MVP.</p>
<h2>20. Dennis Eckersley</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="344" data-size="w:3511,h:2014" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/05/04/20__dennis_eckersley.jpg_1000627162.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Eckersley had 220 saves over a 5-year span – Getty   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Stats: 197-171 W-L, 390 SV, 3.50 ERA, 3,285.2 IP, 2,401 SO, 1.161 WHIP</strong></p>
<p><strong>Dennis Eckersley</strong> could do it all on the mound. He spent a lot of time as a starter, but could also come in late to ease the fire. That’s why he’s one of just two players with a 20-win, 50-save season.</p>
<p>Eckersley was the most dominant closer in MLB during the late 90s and early 2000s. Over his career, he won 1 MVP, Cy Young, ALCS MVP, 2-times Rolaids Reliever of the Year, World Series, and made it to<strong> 6 All-Star Games.</strong></p>
<h2>19. Gaylord Perry</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="400" data-size="w:3600,h:2400" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/05/04/19__gaylord_perry_1.jpg_231334169.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Gaylord’s brother Jim is also a Cy Young winner – Getty   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Stats: 314-265 W-L, 3.11 ERA, 5,350.0 IP, 3,534 SO, 1.181 WHIP</strong></p>
<p><strong>Gaylord Perry</strong> is the first pitcher to win the Cy Young award in both leagues. His control, brains, versatility, and durability helped him have a 22-year career where he was the finest example of consistency.</p>
<p>Perry hat 13 straight 15+ win seasons from 1966-78, trailing only Cy Young (15) back then before <strong>Greg Maddux</strong> (17) passed them both in 2004. He won 2 Cy Youngs and made 5All-Stars Game appearances.</p>
<h2>18. Max Scherzer</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="425" data-size="w:2520,h:1788" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/05/04/18__max_scherzer.jpg_169458262.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Max Scherzer’s eyes have different colors – Getty   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Stats: 170-89 W-L, 3.20 ERA, 2,290.0 IP, 2,692 SO, 1.092 WHIP</strong></p>
<p><strong>Max Scherzer</strong> has been money since making it to the league in 2008, piling up MVP-caliber seasons for over a decade. He’s one of just six pitchers to throw multiple no-hitters in one season, as well as the sixth to win the Cy Young in both leagues.</p>
<p>Scherzer has had his fair share of success throughout his MLB career, piling up 3 Cy Youngs, has made it to 7 All-Star Games, and most recently the World Series with the Washington Nationals. <strong>He’s a lock to make it to the Hall of Fame.</strong></p>
<h2>17. Nolan Ryan</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="410" data-size="w:2744,h:1876" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/05/04/17__nolan_ryan.jpg_202705018.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Ryan also has 2,795 career base on balls – Getty   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Stats: 324-292 W-L, 3.19 ERA, 5,386.0 IP, 5,714 SO, 1.247 WHIP</strong></p>
<p>Most pitchers will be out of the league after five years or so, but luckily for this sport, <strong>Nolan Ryan </strong>wasn’t like most pitchers. As a matter of fact, he stayed in the league for<strong> 27 years,</strong> which says a lot about his durability, talent, and work ethic.</p>
<p>Ryan had one of the most powerful arms in the history of baseball. Up to this day, he’s still the league’s all-time leader in strikeouts by a long stretch, and his<strong> 5,714 strikeouts</strong> aren’t likely to be topped ever. Also, he added 8 All-Stars, 2 ERA Titles, and 1 World Series to his resume.</p>
<h2>16. Don Drysdale</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="405" data-size="w:3600,h:2430" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/05/04/16__don_drysdale.jpg_226716564.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Drysdale later pursuit a career as a radio and tv broadcaster – Getty   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Stats: 209-166 W-L, 2.95 ERA, 3,432.0 IP, 2,486 SO, 1.148 WHIP</strong></p>
<p><strong>Don Drysdale</strong> found the glory with the<strong> Los Angeles Dodgers</strong> by becoming one of the most reliable guys you could find on a mound. He even threw a record 6 straight shutouts with 58.2 scoreless innings thanks to his ability to find the inside corner every time out there.</p>
<p>Drysdale was such a sensation in <strong>Hollywood</strong> that he even starred in several movies and TV shows as the fan-favorite in the late 50s and 60s. Throughout his career, he won one Cy Young, 3 World Series, ML Player of the Year award, and made 9 All-Star Appearances.</p>

<p><strong>Stats: 225-129 W-L, 3.33 ERA, 2,982.9 IP, 3,006 SO, 1.135 WHIP</strong></p>
<p><strong>Justin Verlander</strong> has had a Hall of Famer career for sure. He’s one of the most consistent pitchers of the last couple of decades, and even though he’s struggled in the World Series, he’s been money in the postseason year after year.</p>
<p>His 4-steam fastball is still deadly 13 years after his professional debut and it seems like he could turn it up a notch at will. Thus far, he’s won the Rookie of the Year, ML Player of the Year, ERA Title, ALCS MVP, MVP, 2 Cy Youngs <strong>(1 unanimous)</strong>, World Series, 8 All-Star Game Appearances, and one pitcher’s Triple-Crown thanks to his legendary curve.</p>
<h2>14. Warren Spahn</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="405" data-size="w:3600,h:2430" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/05/04/14__warren_spahn.jpg_226716564.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Spahn enrolled into the army during World War II – Getty   </figcaption></figure>

<p><strong>Stats: 363-245 W-L, 3.09 ERA, 5,243.2 IP, 2,583 SO, 1.195 WHIP</strong></p>
<p>Back in the day, <strong>Warren Spahn </strong>was considered to be the greatest leftie pitcher in the history of baseball, a distinction he earned after winning 20+ games in 13 seasons. He was also one of the first to throw multiple no-hitters and reach 300 career victories.</p>
<p>Spahn’s high-kick made him a legend among baseball players back then. He was intimidating, dominant, and had a never-ending bag of tricks to fool opposing hitters. That’s why he won 1 Cy Young, 3 ERA Titles, one World Series, and made it to <strong>17 All-Star Games.</strong></p>
<h2>13. Clayton Kershaw</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Stats: 169-74 W-L, 2.44 ERA, 2,274.2 IP, 2,464 SO, 1.008 WHIP</strong></p>
<p><strong>Clayton Kershaw</strong> will go down as one of the greatest pitchers in the history of baseball once’s all said and done. However, his struggles in the playoffs may dent his legacy unless he finds a way to stay in control and dominate the same way he does in the regular season.</p>
<p>Kershaw’s changeup and movement made him incredibly hard to read for opposing batters. His overhand delivery and the way he hides the ball help him always stay in control and find the lower corners of the strike zone. Thus far, he’s won one Gold Glove, 3 Cy Youngs, 5 ERA Titles, ML Player of the Year, MVP, 8 All-Star Game appearances, and <strong>one pitcher’s Triple-Crown.</strong></p>
<h2>12. Bob Feller</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p><strong>Stats: 266-162 W-L, 3.25 ERA, 3,827.0 IP, 2,581 SO, 1.316 WHIP</strong></p>
<p><strong>Bob Feller</strong> was the man to beat during the early 40s. He led the league in wins 6 times and is the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/cleveland-indians-t114670" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong> Cleveland Indians’</strong></a> all-time leader in wins after 16 seasons with the franchise. He even led the team to complete his military service and came back as dominant as ever four years later.</p>
<p>Feller <strong>struck out 348 batters </strong>as soon as he came back to the league and even had 6 40-game seasons. That’s just the kind of athlete he was. Throughout his career, he won 1 ERA Title, ML Player of the Year, World Series winner, 8 All-Star Game appearances, and the pitcher’s Triple-Crown.</p>
<h2>11. Bob Gibson</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="391" data-size="w:2985,h:1948" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/05/04/11__bob_gibson.jpg_860251970.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    He became the 2nd player to reach 3,000 strikeouts – Getty   </figcaption></figure>

<p><strong>Stats: 251-174 W-L, 2.91 ERA, 3,884.1 IP, 3,117 SO, 1.1188 WHIP</strong></p>
<p>Bob Gibson is one of the main responsible for the<strong> St. Louis Cardinals</strong>’ success in the sixties. He was an intimidating guy that thrived off inside pitches and infuriating his rivals. Also, he made some weird and bizarre faces to scare off opposing batters.</p>
<p>Crazy as it may seem, it definitely paid off for him, as he was able to win 1 MVP, 2 Cy Youngs, 9 All-Stars, 9 Gold Gloves, 2 World Series, 2 World Series MVP, 1 ERA Title<strong> over his 17-seasons career.</strong></p>
<h2>10. Randy Johnson</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="402" data-size="w:3175,h:2130" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/05/04/10__randy_johnson.jpg_229487127.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Johnson was honored in The Simpsons as one of the most influential lefties ever – Getty   </figcaption></figure>

<p><strong>Stats: 303-166 W-L, 3.29 ERA, 4,135.1 IP, 4,875 SO, 1.171 WHIP</strong></p>
<p><strong>Randy Johnson </strong>is one of the 24 pitchers to log 300+ wins in MLB history. Also, he’s the second all-time in strikeouts and is considered to own the most intimidating and powerful fastball the league had ever seen, as it could go over 100 mph with ease during his prime.</p>
<p>However, Johnson made the most of his damage with his deadly slider, the main reason why there were that many swings and misses throughout his 22-year career. He won 5 Cy Youngs, 4 ERA Titles, 10 All-Stars, 1 World Series, 1 World Series MVP, and also <strong>the pitcher’s Triple-Crown.</strong></p>
<h2>9. Carl Hubbell</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p><strong>Stats: 253-154 W-L, 2.98 ERA, 3,590.1 IP, 1,677 SO, 1.166 WHIP</strong></p>
<p>Hubbell was the first pitcher that truly thrived off the screwball. Even<strong> Joe DiMaggio</strong> himself claimed once that Hubbel was the most difficult pitcher he had ever faced due to how in control he always was. That often helped him fool his rivals.</p>
<p>He struck out 5 straight players in the 1934 All-Star Game, including the likes of <strong>Babe Ruth and Al Simmons</strong>. Also, he won 24 straight games from 1936 to 1937, which is the longest streak in MLB history. He piled up 2 MVPs, 3 ERA Titles, ML Player of the Year, World Series, and made it to 9 All-Star Games.</p>
<h2>8. Greg Maddux</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p><strong>Stats: 355-227 W-L, 3.16 ERA, 5,008.1 IP, 3,371 SO, 1.143 WHIP</strong></p>
<p><strong>Greg Maddux </strong>was a synonym of consistency throughout his entire career. He had 2 20-win seasons, 5 19-win seasons, and 2 18-win seasons and became the first player to ever sign a 100+ million deal thanks to his dominance, intelligence, and durability.</p>
<p>He still holds the record for<strong> 17 straight seasons of 15+ wins, </strong>piled up 4 straight Cy Youngs (MLB record), 4 ERA Titles, 1 World Series, 18 Gold Gloves, and made 8 All-Star Game appearances.</p>
<h2>7. Pedro Martínez</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="401" data-size="w:3000,h:2008" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/05/04/7__pedro_martinez.jpg_230410648.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Pedro’s brother Ramon was also a pitcher – Getty   </figcaption></figure>

<p><strong>Stats: 219-100 W-L, 2.93 ERA, 2,827.1 IP, 3,154 SO, 1.054 WHIP</strong></p>
<p><strong>Pedro Martínez</strong> always brought the fire. He was a born winner, a fierce competitor, and a guy who scared the living hell out of his rivals once he stood on the mound. When he won his 200th game back in 2006, he held the best winning percentage in MLB history for a pitcher with over 350 starts.</p>
<p>Martínez’s unorthodox style was what made him so special. He thrived off of outside pitches but his biggest strength was his control. That, combined with his fastball, curve, and mean circle changeup helped him earn 3 Cy Youngs, <strong>5 ERA Titles, </strong>World Series, 8 All-Star Game appearances, 1 All-Star MVP, and the pitcher’s Triple-Crown.</p>
<h2>6. Lefty Grove</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:3050,h:1695" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/05/10/6__lefty_grove_crop1589147905044.jpg_1030179834.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Lefty’s real name was Robert Moses Grove – Getty   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Stats: 300-141 W-L, 3.06 ERA, 3,940.2 IP, 2,266 SO, 1.278 WHIP</strong></p>
<p><strong>Lefty Grove</strong> was the most dominant pitcher of his era. He won 79 games over a three-year span to go along with just 15 losses, which he didn’t take lightly. Grove holds the record for the highest winning percentage (.680) for a pitcher with more than 236 career wins, which tells you how good he was.</p>
<p>He holds the record for <strong>most ERA titles (9)</strong>, led the league in wins 4 times, in strikeouts for seven straight seasons, and won 1 MVP, 2 World Series, 6 All-Star Game appearances, and<strong> 2 pitcher’s Triple-Crowns.</strong></p>
<h2>5. Mariano Rivera</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="400" data-size="w:4896,h:3264" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/05/04/5__mariano_rivera.jpg_231334169.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Rivera is the first unanimous Hall of Famer – Getty   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Stats: 82-60 W-L, 652 SV, 2.21 ERA, 1,283.0 IP, 1,173 SO, 1.000 WHIP</strong></p>
<p><strong>Mariano Rivera</strong> is the greatest closer of all time and it’s not even close. Besides his power, speed, and control the fact that he was able to play at such a high level for 19 years as a closer says just enough about his work ethic, and talent.</p>
<p>Rivera had <strong>at least 25 saves in 15 straight seasons with an ERA below 2.00 11 times</strong>, both MLB records. Also, He made it to 13 All-Star Games and won 5 Rolaids Reliever of the Year awards, ALCS MVP, All-Star Game MVP, World Series MVP, and 5 World Series. On a related note, he’s the league’s all-time leader in saves and by a long stretch.</p>
<h2>4. Cy Young</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="480" data-size="w:3345,h:2681" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/05/04/4__cy_young.jpg_2300961.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Cy Young was actually called Denton True Young – Getty   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Stats: 511-315 W-L, 2.63 ERA, 7,356.0 IP, 2,803 SO, 1.130 WHIP</strong></p>
<p>There’s a reason why the<strong> Cy Young</strong> award is called that way. When you look for a winning pitcher, there’s no one that had won more games than Young. Hell, he’s the only pitcher in MLB history to win 500+ games, something that’s never going to be topped.</p>
<p>Young enjoyed quite a successful 22-year career in the MLB. He was the first to ever record a perfect game in the modern era, made <strong>904 appearances</strong>, and holds the records for most starts, inning pitches, and complete games (749). Also, he had 5 30-win seasons and 10 20+ win campaigns again, as well as 2 ERA titles, 1 World Series, and the pitcher’s Triple-Crown.</p>
<h2>3. Walter Johnson</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Stats: 417-279 W-L, 2.17 ERA, 5,914.1 IP, 3,509 SO, 1.061 WHIP</strong></p>
<p><strong>Walter Johnson</strong> is the second player ever to win 400+ games and trails only Cy Young for the most wins ever. Up to this day, there’s still some who consider him to be the greatest right-handed pitcher in the history of baseball or at least, the best of the 1900s.</p>
<p>Johnson had <strong>110 career shutouts</strong> and threw at 91 mph, which was unprecedented back in the day, sadly, his legacy may be tainted by the lack of team success he faced through most of his career. Still, he was as dominant as they came, winning 2 MVPs, 5 ERA Titles, World Series, and 3 pitcher’s Triple-Crowns.</p>
<h2>2. Roger Clemens</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="400" data-size="w:3504,h:2336" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/05/04/2__roger_clemens.jpg_231334169.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Clemens struck out 20 batters twice over his career – Getty   </figcaption></figure>

<p><strong>Stats: 354-184 W-L, 3.12 ERA, 4,916.2 IP, 4,672 SO, 1.173 WHIP</strong></p>
<p><strong>Roger Clemens</strong> holds the third most strikeouts of all time with 4,672. He was the most dominant pitcher of his time, winning<strong> 7 Cy Young awards</strong>, which is an MLB record up to this day, and one not likely to be ever topped. He was always the most aggressive guy out there and opposing batters were just scared of him.</p>
<p>Clemens could throw at 94 mph during his 24th season in the league. Also, his breaking balls were just deadly. Throughout his career, he won 1 ML Player of the Year, MVP, 2 World Series, <strong>7 ERA Titles, </strong>11 All-Star appearances, 1 All-Star MVP, and a couple of pitcher’s Triple-Crowns.</p>
<h2>1. Sandy Koufax</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="376" data-size="w:3300,h:2068" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/06/04/sandy_koufax_crop1591298475509.jpg_912892667.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption>    In 1965, Koufax pitched 335.2 innings despite being injured since Spring Training- Getty   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Stats: 165-87 W-L, 2.76 ERA, 2,324.1, 2,396 SO, 1.106 WHIP</strong></p>
<p><strong>Sandy Koufax</strong> wasn’t around for that long yet a lot of people consider him to be not only the greatest lefty but also the greatest pitcher ever. Nobody else ate during his watch, he completely dominated his peers and rivals during his prime and piled up quite an impressive resume over just 11 years. He threw over the top of his arm which gave him outstanding speed to his four-seam fastball, which underspun as it approached the plate.</p>
<p>Koufax was the first pitcher to throw at least 3 no-hitters and became the youngest player to ever be inducted into the Hall of Fame. MVP, 3 Cy Youngs, 3 World Series, 2 World Series MVP, 2-times ML Player of the Year, 5 ERA Titles, 7 All-Star Games, and won 3 pitcher’s Triple-Crowns before arthritis <strong>cut his career short at just 31 years old.</strong></p>
