they lowered the mound after the 1968 season...pitchers were way too dominant..after that, both McLain and Gibson flamed out..totally different era.

Gibson didn’t flame out.

He also was 34 in 1969 and was 20-13 with a 2.18 ERA.

Pitchers flame out anyway. The MLB has managed to keep tinkering to keep the game changing and interesting.
