As for injuries today, teams and players are much more concerned with protecting their valuable careers than they were in the old days. I mean, after Koufax had his finger injury and surgery in 1962, the Dodgers had him pitch 200 pitches in a spring training game, to see if his arm would hold up. Can you imagine a team doing that to an ace recovering from an injury today? I was listening to The Glory of Their Times and Baseball When The Grass Was Real in the car on an audiobook and was struck by how often the teams ran players right into retirement by demanding that they play through injuries. They destroyed careers. Pete Reiser tells how he was coaxed to play with skull fractures; he wasn't going to say no.

Didn't Michael Conforto dislocate his shoulder last year taking a swing?

In a couple more years he'll be in the minor leagues

With a hamstring tear, a torn rotator

And a pair of arthritic knees

Happily ever after back in Binghamton
Aaron plays DH during homestands
Gleyber's back at home somebody took his place
And Andujar retired with a broken hand

Man, the kids and journeymen on that team have been playing above their heads lately. Been watching the road trip, and granted they aren't exactly playing a Murderer's Row of competition, but they've been pulling some games out of their ass, they've had no business winning.

Thanks to guys named Tauchman and Wade and Romine and Urshela and Loasiaga and German and Voit and Ford and Estrada and on and on.

Don't think they can keep it up for long, but it's been fun.
