A piece of shit that should be in the HOF.Yes, Pete Rose is still a piece of shit.
Just for comparisons sake, in 1974 there were 1089 complete games. Last year there were 29. Nolan Ryan alone was only 3 shy of the entire 2025 season that same year (1974) with 26. Now it's all about protecting players' arms and platooning for matchups. It's ridiculous and I hate it.It's weird watching the White Sox and seeing the starters go like 3 innings.
Like it doesn't feel like that long ago Mark Buehrle was rolling through complete games like a work horse.
