As for your point about era, yes, of course. The argument from absurdity is manifested in the earliest days of the National League. In an era when a single pitcher started and completed the great majority of his team's games, relative measure of stamina lose all significance rather quickly. Who was the real workhorse between Tim Keefe and Pud Galvin?
