Steroids & PEDs aside, who do you think had a better career: Roger Clemens or Greg Maddux?

I know some folks will have difficulty taking drug use out of the discussion, but try to give it shot!

Also, please provide some basic reasoning behind your response. Bitter rants and abusing the opinions of others belong elsewhere. Thanks!

    mad dog for sure... 18 gold glove awards i believe it was... he's the only pitcher in history to win at least 15 games in 17 consecutive seasons... and he has a whopping 355 wins under his belt...

    the rocket did win 7 cy young awards... and who's to say he's finished?

    Greg Maddux. I know you want answers to not include drug use, so I hope that you mean drug use of the two, and not drug use of the hitters that they faced.

    I think that Greg Maddux is the best pitcher of all time because he put up ridiculous stats during the steroid era, without being overpowering. I mean the dude had an ERA under 2 like 3 times.

    Clemens' MVP season was probably better than any of Maddux's season, but for the entire 1990s Greg Maddux was a top 3 pitcher in the game, period.
