Roberto Clemenmte's line drive that broke Bob Gibson's leg in 1967 kept Gibson from what would have been 12 straight years (1961-1972) of 200 IP, while a collision with Johnny Benmch in 1973 limited him to 195. Minus the two mishaps, he would have had 14 straight seasons. While 200 IP has traditionally been a very minimal standard for front-line pithers, it is still easy for one injury to snap one's streak.
