Call me when Barroid throws 29⅔ straight scoreless innings in the World Series.

that is such a mindblowing stat that doesn't it make you question the devlopment of the game back then?
no way any pitcher is getting away with that in this day and age.
i mean, the lack of training & working out & the fact they had regular jobs in the off season; i don't know, it always made me question.
could Babe hit a Johan Santana? or a mid-90's Randy Johnson?

fun fact: Babe Ruth was a member of a Golf Course that is seconds away from my house. ;D

Whitey Ford broke the record in the 60's for longest scoreless streak in the World Series and that 40-50 years after Ruth did it. It is still possible. And you bring up a good point could Babe Ruth hit Johan or Randy Johnson. Though Babe was feasting off of the best during his time. Though the talent today except for a few is probably superior to the player of the past. Lets see todays player play under the same conditions of back in the day. And I work over by JFK which happened to be the St.Albans golf course where both Babe and Ty Cobb played.

There's no point making those comparisons. I could argue that if babe could hit Walter Johnson when training consisted of beer and hot dogs then how good could he have been if he trained like they trained to day? I don't like comparing eras. Babe is the best of his time, and if they had multiple MVPs allowed in the 20s he may have won every year.

Why can't we make these comparisons. Because the eras in which they played in are so different ? Comparing era's and players is half the fun of Baseball.

but then i could argue Walter Johnson could have been fifteen times better if he devoted his entire life to baseball & training for the game & maybe he would never have hit him.
maybe he would of, but we'll never know; so it stands Barry Bonds the GOAT.
just thinking of how the game has changed but at the same time staying the same, just minor adjustments, is fascinating.
