Take Maddux for example. He finished his career being traded to the Dodgers for a player to be named later and finished his career going 2 and 4 for them with a 5.09 ERA.
I think Mussina's final season probably helped push him over the hump and into the HOF too. He went out a 20 game winner.

Addie Joss went out on top too. Unfortunately his excuse disqualified him.
