Default How many pitches did the old-timers throw per game?

Jay - Just to clarify. The American Miler is Alan Webb. He was setting American records in high school. He had a few bad years after high school before regaining his form. Not certain if that was the best analogy to use.

As for pitch counts. Batters seem to work the count a lot more today than ever before. Check out the strikeout leaders for pitchers before the 1960's.
