Whitey Ford shakes his head at pitch counts.
Whitey Ford just happened to be a pro, not a 19 year old. A pitcher's arm is not fully developed until around the age of 25. Plus, people tend to forget how the game has changed over the years. Most pitchers can't get by throwing all the junk and 85 mph fastballs guys used to throw in that era. Bats are lighter (not to mention aluminum in this case), parks are smaller, the strike zone has shrunk, and the mound has been lowered. Sorry but it's not the 40's or 50's anymore.
