Playing longer doesnt make you a better pitcher. Show me a period where any of those other pitchers was considered the best pitcher in baseball. For the 1st part of the 70's Catfish hunter was easily one of the two or three best pitchers in the game.
Hunters 5 best seasons were better than any of those other guys 5 best seasons.
