The proposed eight-man starting rotation, featuring top pitchers like Shohei Ohtani and Blake Snell, would optimize player performance and keep arms fresh for October.
In the 1963 World Series, the Dodgers featured a homegrown lineup, highlighting a stark contrast to today's teams, which often rely on wealth rather than homegrown talent.
The shift in baseball salary structures is illustrated by Blake Snell's lucrative contract, highlighting how modern players earn astronomical sums compared to legends like Koufax and Drysdale.
In 1966, Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale held out for $100,000 each, while today's top pitchers, like Snell, command contracts surpassing $180 million for fewer innings.
