Gwynn & Brett both played 2/3 of a season. They don't count.
Ryne Duren? Sure, one guy. There are numerous guys hitting 100 now and DOZENS hitting 98. It's unquestionable that guys throw A LOT harder now.
Ted was great but lemme ask you this - if the two guys switch places, whose stats would improve and whose wouldn't?
