2010 World Series: Rangers vs. Giants

[Matt]

With all the talk in this WS about pitch counts and Nolan Ryan's philosophy, I thought this would be of interest, from the Sporting Life, circa 1916:

Hughie Jennings, the keeper of the Jungle
team, says that he has been panned a lot for
keeping pitchers on the hill when the hitters
have found their range, but explains his motives
with some sound reason. "When I announce the
pitcher to start the game," said Jennings, "he
is the best man I have for that day's work. If
they hit him they will probably hit the next one
I offer them. These one-inning bursts win
games sometimes, but If you don't win and you
throw away a couple of pitchers, you are up
against it when the double-deckers come along.
