Lindy McDaniel was a favorite player of mine. He pitched 21 consecutive seasons in the majors and still retired before his 40th birthday
(1955-1975; ages 19 to 39). He was #2 all-time in game appearances for pitchers when he retired. I once saw him pitch the last 13 innings of a 14 inning game for the Yankees against Detroit, giving up just one run and getting the win. (Aug. 4, 1973).
