Posted By: <b>Phil B</b><p>I'm guessing Blyleven who has more complete games than several of those guys combined?!

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>Very much doubt it's the three 80s-90s guys as that was the era of seven inning starts.<br /><br />Blyleven and Ryan likely had far more starts than Catfish.<br /><br />Finally, I am guessing the question wouldn't have been asked if the answer was Ryan.

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>Yup, it's Bert. Possessor of the best curveball that many of the HOFers said they had ever seen. He deserves to be in the Hall with what 286 wins? WS championship rings from 2 different teams and top 5 alltime in strikeouts. Oh well, someday...

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>Excellent longevity stats, but not enough dominant years, only one 20 game season, almost never in the running for Cy Young and never finished higher than third, only two All-Star selections. Too many 14-10s and 15-12s. A very fine pitcher, but not an all-time great in my opinion (my criterion).
