Yup. The game is way different today. Back then you had a 4 man rotation and starters weren't pulled after just 5 or so innings like today's pussy starters are. Earl as did every manager back then let their starters go 8-9 innings all the time. The complete game is a thing of the past. Managers are under way more pressure to win in today's game.

Guys throw harder now and throw tons of breaking stuff/sliders

The older guys did NOT put the same amount of stress on their arms as guys do today.
