It’s nice to see Sergio Romo has a sense of history as he climbs the all-time pitching appearance list. Here Romo talks about Walter Johnson:

“He was an infamous flame-thrower, and a guy who commanded a lot of respect,” said Romo. “He pitched a lot of innings, and he did it throwing gas. I actually play with Walter Johnson every now and again in MLB: The Show, The’ve got a lot of greats in that game. Hank Aaron, Willie McCovey… a lot of those guys.”

I have run into ballplayers without awareness of the greats who came before them Maybe one of the strengths of video games is that today’s players can appreciate the past stars.
