Roy Face jumps right to mind (or Elroy as I found out later). I predate you by a couple decades so you might not be as familiar. Longtime All-Star Bucs reliever who played on the 1960 World Champs team. Can you imagine going 18-1 out of the pen? (1959) The Bullpen Baron will turn 96 this February. God bless him. And you too. Thanks once again for stirring up some great ol' memories, Adam.
I've been amazed by Face's 1959 season since I first read about it in the 80s, though I tend to get his feat confused with Vern Law's 1960 Cy Young season in my mind. Both still ticking -- here's hoping for 100+ in both cases!
