100% comically false statement. You really think with the rudimentary understanding of medicine they had then (compared to now) that more players didn’t get seriously injured or throw out their arms?
There were tons of players that got “dead arms” as they used to call it.
There many players would have a few good seasons in the majors or minors and then disappear. Smokey Joe Wood being a very prominent example.
