The first off-season after I got 6.5, he returned from surgery and retirement, presumably to get his 200th win at the age of 39. Opening day, he went eight solid innings to pick it up.

Interesting . . . Is a player who's close to a milestone more likely to comeback? (It would make some sense, as both of those features were added in 6.5)
