Someone said something in an article a while ago about the milestones like 300 wins, milestones that take 20+ years to achieve.
It went along the lines of, the reason why it's impressive to reach a milestone in 20+ years, is the fact that after 20 years, they're still playing, and at a high level.
For example, nobody will ever break Jerry Rice's records. I'm sorry, they just won't. It's not possible to play that well for that long. I'd love to see Randy Moss do it, but he won't. He always comes up lame at the end of a season, he won't make it through 20+ seasons like Jerry.
I guess I'm on a "pro-old people" kick lately, but the point of my post was going to be, who cares if it's a 3-man rotation?
The reason the 3-man rotation stopped, was for more rest, to prolong careers. So if you can get 300 wins despite damaging the hell out of your shoulder, then fine. The people back then could laugh at how people can get 300 wins NOW with 5-man rotations, with that extra 2-4- days rest for a shoulder, of course. It's a lot harder to wear out an arm nowadays than it was back then!
So the 3-man rotation BS doesn't cut it with me, sister.
