Jamie Moyer of the Philadelphia Phillies became the oldest pitcher in baesball history to pitch a complete game shutout at 47 years?

I believe longevity is already taken into consideration when voting for admittance into the MLB| Major League Baseball National Hall of Fame. My understanding of who deserves to be enshrined is somewhat clouded by the some of the players who have been elected versus some of those that have been omitted. When I look at some of the pitchers omitted, I find it very difficult to make a case for Jamie Moyer.

Jack Morris the winningest pitcher in the 80s is not a member. Word is that his ERA and reputation with the press outweighs any accomplishments he has made, like pitching in and being a member of 3 different World Series championship teams. If Moyer were to be included for longevity, then for sure Denny McLain would need to be inducted for accomplishments made in a brief MLB | Major League Baseball career.

Over a 4 year span eh won, 20, 19, 31 and 26 games, before injuries caught up to him. Winning 96 games in 4 years is quite an accomplishment. Not only did he win, he was dominating.

I guess there is a place for pointing out unique accomplishments in the Hall, so yes, maybe what Moyer has done could be included there as you mentioned.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
