Heard Dusty Baker on the radio yesterday talking about how pitchers these days are coddled in part because in the good old days there were less teams, so that must mean more good pitchers then.
Hello, does Dusty not understand that the game is now more international than ever and that the population has grown the past 40 years? This is the same thing I hear when people talk about expansion in the NFL, NBA, etc.
Yes there are more spots to fill, but damn hasn't the talent pool grown as well? I'm just asking for your views given that you writers follow the sports world more closely than I.
