I listed 16 pitchers who are comparable, I didn't even include Clemens or Nolan Ryan.

I kindly have to disagree with you. Definite HOF'er...especially pitching in the AL with the DH....at least +.50 ERA.
Pitching "to the score" is an argument that has been statistically refuted countless times over the years. His career ERA+ is only 106 (lg average is 100, 120 is considered an all star caliber performance) . That factors in for ballpark (Petco/Coors) and lg (AL/NL) discrepancies.
Jack Morris:
254-186
3.90 ERA 106ERA+ (lg average is 100, 120 is considered an all star caliber performance)
1.296 WHIP
3824 INN
3x WS Champ
5x All-Star
Rick Reuschel
214-191
3.37 ERA 114 ERA+ (lg average is 100, 120 is considered an all star caliber performance)
1.275 WHIP
3548.1 INN
3x All-Star
2x GG
Collect Andrew McCutchen, Roberto Clemente and most current/vintage Pirates. Some Braves Dynasty like Maddux, Klesko, Javy & Chipper.
