**I grew up watching Koufax, Juan Marichal, and Bob Gibson. They would pitch every FOUR days and would not be relieved after 7 innings unless they were hurt or pitching badly. Now , Kevin (15 million and a private jet) Brown is tired after 6 innings.

Koufax would pitch 2 hit shutouts, walking 0 or on a wild day, 1 batter.

I’m spoiled and I live in the past.**

A complete game every four days? That’s nothing. Why, I remember when Ed Reulbach pitched shutouts in both games of a double header. That’s 18 scoreless innings in one day.
by “remember” I mean “remember reading about”

That is impressive. And this “Rochester catcher Dave Huppert caught 31 innings” is incredible.

The moderator edited my post about the 26 innings. BOTH pitchers pitched ALL 26 innings. And lived to pitch some more.
