4. I've always wondered whether elbow problems are a function of modern pitching styles.

Because if not, you either had to have pitchers playing with ligament tears, or fading into oblivion after blowing out their elbow.

And you don't need to go that far back, since Tommy John surgery only started in the late 70s.

That said, 188 straight games is pretty amazing!
