Tiant not getting in during his lifetime, like Minoso not getting in during his lifetime, is a shame.
I think if you lead the League in ERA twice, have a 60+ WAR, and pitch well in the postseason (small sample size, but Tiant was 3-0 with a 2.86 ERA, including 2 Word Series wins) then you should be in.
I do think Billy Pierce should also get more consideration, but his 53 WAR is nothing to write home about.
