Different era. Ryan grew up when it was "Spahn and Spain and pray for rain." I don't think any of today's pitchers could have pitched back then because they throw harder and aren't conditioned to throw 125+ pitches every game.

Really stinks that Bauer had to come out on pitch count.
No one told Nolan Ryan he threw too many pitches.
