Bob Feller was at the White Sox...

...game on Opening Day last week:

At 91, the Cleveland Indians Hall of Famer has a remarkable memory and plenty of opinions on pitch counts and other trappings of modern pitching. Mark Buehrle, who left his Opening Day start on Monday with a three-hit shutout after seven innings, is a sign of the times, Feller said. "If they'd lifted me after 95 pitches," he said, "lots of times I'd have been gone by the third inning."

Feller said his best year was 1946, when he won 27 games, including 36 complete games. (My emphasis.)
