| There was a pitcher back in like 1905 who pitched 624 innings, isn't that just amazing? |

I saw the statistics on MLB.com I didn't know it was possible for a pitcher to pitch that many innings in one season.WOW!!! |
|
I wouldn't be suprised if it was someone like Cy Young Christy Mathewson or Walter Johnson that did that. This is just a perfect example of how better the ballplayer of yesteryear was. Today's pitchers are wusses & spoiled brats who cry after throwing 90 pitches. |

Actually, no pitcher has thrown over 600 innings in one season since Bill Hutchison in 1892. At that time most teams had only 2 or 3 pitchers who would pitch (and complete) every game. And before 1885, ptichers threw underhanded, almost like slow-pitch softball pitchers. I can't remember too well off the top of my head but somebody named Will White(could be wrong name)threw 750 innings in 1876. That's incredible. |
