Thanks Dean and Gary. That's what I remember, and by the way I did
complain in 1973, since I had the NL and my friend had the AL, and he
never had any pitchers hurt! So with that rule every pitcher has the
same exact chances for injury as any other pitcher, right?

I expected your answer, but I think there's something missing here. I'm
seeing pitcher cards where the pitcher was hurt a lot in the given year,
and I'm seeing tons of injuries for those guys. Is it my imagination or
is there something else going on?
