Pitching is so different now that those old time records are also unattainable. Winning 20 games is somewhat rare anymore. Imagine doing that 25 straight seasons and still be 11 wins away from Cy Young’s record.
So really, what do the records in baseball mean if no one can break them?
Given that, I don’t have an issue with this.

I say this about all the different sports unless they haven't changed the rules at all. The NFL records are such a joke anymore. You have changed the rules so much it isn't the same game it was 30 years ago. You can't compare records from year to year because of that.
