4. The "complete game" will become a popular trivia answer on Net 54 in the 22nd century.


The all-time complete games and shutout lists may as well be etched in stone. there will be no movement on these lists moving forward.

Rosters will be expanded so each team can carry 18 pitchers.

.. and none of them will be worthy of Hall of Fame consideration.

Elongating bull pens in some parks may also be difficult.

With starters and closers both coming out of the bull pen, Old Hoss Radbourn's record of starting 73 games in a season could be in jeopardy.

Actually Galvin and Will White are already ahead of Old Hoss with 75 games started in a season.

Hadn't thought about that, but I could totally see that. Also somebody passing Mike Marshall's 106 games in a season


Also wonder who the first reliever will be to make the hall that isn't a closer and will a high number of Holds get them there.

Hmmmm. I may be wrong, but I see only one pitcher, Warren Spahn, in the top 35 who played into the 1960's:

Lifetime Complete Games - ESPN

There were only 28 complete games pitched in 2024 which was a new low compared to 210 as recently as 2002.

I like the Tommy John streak idea. That might be better than Cal Ripken's!
