Well, assuming Clemens stays retired, there still is a guy with 289 wins 
through his age 37 season.  Maddux has 49 wins over the last three years.  
If he gets 40 wins over the next three seasons, that would put him at 329 
through age 40, and if he's still healthy and interested he'd have a shot.

Basically, Maddux and Clemens are both ahead of where Spahn was at the 
same age, which implies to me that it's possible to do under the 
conditions they pitched in.
