Moyer continues to blow hitters away with his 80-mph fastball... the anti-Ryan.

I'll guess Gaylord Perry as the other, though it might have been Wilbur Wood.

Others I came up with:
Nolan Ryan - 71
Gaylord Perry - 64
Roger Clemens - 61
Wilbur Wood - retired at age 36 - I was surprised by that !!

Nikro would be correcto.
the other pitcher would be Jack Quinn, gave yanks, 1st Pennant.
Pitched until he was 50, won 109 games after 40, led league twice, after 45, in saves.
Most wins after age 40 games came with the A's.
Consider, we live longer today, he must have been a tough cookie, born in PA, started working in the coal mines.

one of the worst moves dem' o's ever made was letting moyer go. if they would have kept him that next year i still think they would have gone to the world series. i had the opportunity to discuss this with sammy perlozzo after that season, and it was funny because it was a few days before they signed jimmy key. i told him that i thought the fact that every pitcher the o's had threw the same speed really hurt them in the playoffs, and we need someone with an offspeed repertoire to break up the rotation. he agreed and said they were going to sign someone just like moyer and i'd hear about it soon. jimmy key was an ok addition, but he was on his way downhill fast at that time. boy it would have been nice to have moyer. he didn't want to leave, and i think he still lives in baltimore.

Even before that the Cubs didn't keep him. They had both him and Greg Maddux and lost them both. Would have been a great foundation to build on way back when, but then again we are talking about a franchise that hasn't cared about winning for most of my lifetime.

bisket;
good point on "having a different speed range" player on the club.
I dont remember but i thought Philly giot him from Seattle? i do recall he really wasnt much as far as his figures go, but his personality along with 'he gets up for Big Games'Also, (playoffs) really makes him one of the best.
I think Chuckey and his staff have somethin to do with success being contagious.
