Remember, too, that with fewer and fewer pitchers getting decisions for their starts, winning 300 today is probably the equivalent of winning 350 in the post-war era or winning 400 in the dead ball era.

(Note: I pulled these numbers out of my ass. If you prefer different numbers, feel free to suggest them - my point is that it's much harder to win 300 today than it was in the past.)
