The same Tony O that amassed 6880 PAs? Played 13 big league seasons, 15 if you count cups of coffee in 62 and 63? That Tony O? Look, I know Oliva suffered a really bad knee injury in 72, missed almost an entire season. I'm pretty confident better medical treatment of today would have helped him greatly. But I'm also confident he wouldn't have dreamed of sitting out for a sore knee. You're not helping the team if you're not on the field. It's a long grind, and every player has to play through aches and pains and miner bumps and bruises if they're gonna stay on the field. If he's hurt, IL hum. If he's not hurt, get on the field.
