How could the pitchers in the 70's and early 80' starts over 40 games for over 20 years, and hardly ever tail off. Where as today's pitchers pitch around 30 to 33, are very lucky to pitch 20 seasons, and always tail off, as well as have a few ijury plauged seasons. The exception being Roger Clemens. There are always exeptions but the difference is pretty drastic when you think about it. The old school guys also completed over 20 games no problem...today we are lucky if they finish 5! Don't just tell me the game is played differently. These old guys that pitched all these games hardly got injured. Phil Niekro, Gaylord Perry ect. Mabye that's just what it takes to be a Hall of Fame pitcher and there is an absence of pitching talent nowdays. Most wins in National Leauge last year: 16
What do you think?
