He also played in the era before performance enhancing drugs and year-round trainning, those take a larger toll on these pitchers bodies as they train. Ryan also had the ability to do something other than throw the ball 100 mph to get guys out. There will never be another like the Ryan Express, these guys aren't built like they used to be. They are so coddled and watched, scientific break downs, bigger faster stronger emphasis. Its just a different age of baseball, with more injuries and less seasons.
