For a pitcher to get in the Hall, I think batters must have had the feeling of 'no matter what I do, I may not have a chance in the world of touching the ball'. even if it was just for several years that batters felt that way.
Koufax had that span, Morris had that span, Rivera made it almost the length of his career.
When these pitchers were at their height, batters just thought 'oh boy, please let me get lucky up here'.
