On average is the key phrase. Some years 4-5 and some years 1 or 0. Cousins did it on grass. Aaron did it on turf. Can't draw too many conclusions.
Correct. Sample size way too small and outliers do happen.

In related news what the hell is the deal with all of the Tommy John surgeries in MLB?

Players get bigger, stronger, faster on one edge of the sword. Small but vital and important little connectors in those bodies don't and get more stress put on them as a result on the other edge of the sword.

Over worked? They practice much less than ever before.


17 game regular season with at least one week with two games in five days every year and quite a few teams have two weeks of that plus almost half the teams playing games in Europe sometime during the season on fields designed primarily for soccer and not football.
