Most seasons by a starting pitcher without having a losing season in their career??

The question says it all:

The closest one I came up with was Whitey Ford, and he went 2-5 and 2-4 in his last two years.

The pitcher had to never have a losing season in his career.

I don't know, but if someone does I'd be grateful, or help on how to find it.

    Not sure if it is a record, but Tim Hudson is in his 14th season, and he has had a winning season every year.

    It might be Andy Pettitte (16). Deacon Phillippe, Urban Shocker, Dizzy Dean all had 12+.

    Grover Alexander: 1911 - 1929. Nineteen seasons in a row. Began in his rookie season (28-13) and continued thru his 2nd to last season (9-8). In his last season, in 1930, he went 0-3.
    Edited to add - I did not see this standard that you listed: "The pitcher had to never have a losing season in his career."
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    How in

    How in the hell could I have missed Andy Pettitte?? Tim Hudson is an interesting one as well. At 192-101, that's impressive.

    The other guys have a career which is over, and Grover Cleveland Alexander was one I noticed as well until I saw the 0-3.
