Gomez has this nugget about Tejada's durability:
He's played more games this decade (1,572 through Friday) than all but two other big-leaguers in any previous decade. Pete Rose leads the list with 1,604 in the 1970s, followed by Brooks Robinson with 1,578 in the 1960s.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
