Let's take a moment to appreciate Hall of Fame pitcher Robin Roberts, who died today at the age of 83. It's easy to argue that he was the toughest pitcher of the last 60 years.

Roberts had six consecutive 300-inning seasons, from 1950-55. During that span, he averaged 323 innings a season. The last time any MLB pitcher had a 300-inning year was 1980, when Steve Carlton went 304.

Roberts also had an incredible stretch of completing games, when he turned in 188 from 1950-56, an average of 26.9 a year. Last time anyone matched that for even a single season was 1980, when Rick Langford completed 28 games for the Oakland A's.

Roberts also went 28-7 in 1952 for a Philadelphia Phillies team that was only 59-60 in games where Roberts didn't get the decision.
