And less hostile. I'll let you hang out when I make love to my wife tonight. She'll be having a threesome and never know it.

You added some good ones like Marichal and Palmer too

Baseball reference makes it easy. I just went down this list ( Career Leaders &amp Records for Wins | Baseball-Reference.com ) and then tried to recall what I know of them. I soaked up old stats like a sponge when I was a kid. I could have added a few more borderline guys too but chose not to: Mickey Lolich, Nolan Ryan, Don Sutton, Gaylord Perry, Curt Schilling, Kevin Brown, Roy Halladay.

Nolan, while I agree he still belongs in the Hall, is, imho, one of the most over-rated pitchers in the history of the game.

All those no hitters can get a guy's reputation hyped up.

No-nos and Ks.

but his WL and ERA are down right bad. He was event pitcher, for sure. But he really didn’t help his team win.

You prefer compilers to dominators I guess. Martinez and Carlton are also > Niekro

I'm just saying...you have to credit longevity. He wasn't nearly the pitcher the others were at their peaks but he pitched for a looooooong time.
