If you were in a game 7 situation, which active pitcher would you choose to want the ball to? I’ve only submitted candidates who have won a championship (sorry Jim Perry). Interestingly, Van Hekken is the only pitcher here who has won titles with two different teams (Brewers and Marlins). Well, actually, McDevitt has as well, but he did not make much of a positive contribution to the Twins title team. Hopefully, this stirs up some good conversation.

Burleigh Grimes 149-86 3.03 ERA 2 Rings (Marlins)

Adam Eaton is the man..He was my first draft pick ever..He has been a consistent #1 starter year in and year out..Adam Eaton and Frank Robinson carried the Phillies to 4 NL titles in a row.If the game would allow the Phillies to win playoff games at home he would have a couple more rings to wear on his fingers....
Roger Clemens has 2 rings with the Royals.. Why isn't he on this list?
Whoops, I see him now.. Damn early mornings.
Hershiser, but really I'd take any of these guys. Good question Sheffy.
I would pick Jim Perry.... He just got snubbed by requirements. If I had to pick someone else other than SP Perry I would pick another former Reds pitcher Addie Joss. Joss was another pitcher the Reds GM say get them into the playoffs a couple years in a row. After moving Joss the Reds never made it back to the playoffs... just to show how important he was to the team. One of the biggest players the Reds regret moving to date.
