Winning = narrating what you want OTHER people to think.
You lose.
You lose.
isnt that the entire point of the internet?
interesting
but yeah so tough to compare eras.
so many variables.
but there is no doubt in my mind, that if you took a guy like Pujols as a 21 year old and put him in a time machine and put him back in 1910 as a rookie, that he'd hit about 1100 HRS and hit close to .500 every year.
a fifth starter on the Pirates would be Walter Johnson and Christy Mathewson's rival.
just a complete different game
IDK about pitchers from then to now Archie. They pretty much pitched 8-9 innings every 4th day. They also could throw spitballs. The best pitchers three 300+ innings in the early 70s still. It woul be a very short list outside of Halladay who could handle that workload.
FW, did you hear on the score this morning they were talking about Hoss Radbourne..... he had like 70-some complete games one year!
It's a shame that now a days you have to be a freak of nature AND have a ridiculous diet, work out, steroid routine just to have a chance at the pros. Sports have gotten too big.
wonder how this guy woulda done in the post modern beisbol era????
Was it in relation to Chris Sale and the Don Cooper interview? Cooper is a real pud, not sure why he is on the Score.
