Whoops. There goes that claim, almost to the exact numbers.
2003 New York Yankees
The top two starters (Clemens and Pettitte) had exactly 33 starts, and all 5 starting slots had between 30 and 33 GS.
If the Yankees had chosen to use Weaver for all of his possible starts rather than give Jose Contreras nine starts, Weaver's total might have been 33 GS.
The Yankees used a strict 5-man rotation and did so with virtually no deviation or variation all season.
