One flip side is guys didn't come back from injuries. No tommy john ment your career was ovah. Then there is the million dollar investments

Average ERA's used to be alot lower as well. Today a 4.00 is a good ERA. In the 70's and 80's that wouldnt have been very good. Its all relative...Teams score alot more in todays game.

One of the best plays Matt has ever made.
