    come on, the numbers worked out in your favor, finish the job, hammer the point home! 35/7 = 5 that means he got one-fifth of the number-one-starter-as-opposition-starts there are 5 starters! it was random!

    Does the whole golden age of 27 thing really apply to pitchers? I didn't think it did.

    Cobb would agree with you, in 1960, he wrote: "The great trouble with baseball today is that most of the players are in the game for the money and that's it, not for the love of it, the excitement of it, the thrill of it. " he sounds exactly like every bitter old player ever

    Link The best athletes in that sport today would completely thrash the best athletes in the sport from the early 20th century. Why should baseball be different?

    now that i think about it, if you transported ty cobb to the future, he'd probably just commit suicide due to having to play with black players.
  18. treebird
    I wonder if anyone agrees with me on this, but I think if you did that time machine thing and brought Ty Cobb to the game today, he wouldn't do much at all. The players are so much bigger and stronger, I really believe that there isn't one person who played before, say, 1940, who'd be anything more than maybe a poor back-up if transported to the game today. Allow them to have a proper upbringing and weight training and such, and that's one thing, but there's no doubt in my mind that the true greatest players of all time are in the league today. Also, Stephen Jay Gould used to write all about how the talent level used to be much more widely distributed and that's why it used to be so much "easier" to hit .400 than it is today. If you haven't read it, you should. It's pretty definitive as far as I'm concerned.

    That would be fun to watch. boooooooooooooooooooooooooooo down with myron

    I think so. yes. ...with a healthy rotation it would. God playing LF for the Cubs couldn't save us from some combo of Z/Prior/Wood missing significant time. A top 5 offense could help offset one signifigant pitching injury. A top 5 offense got Cincinnati 73 wins last season. Texas (another top 5 offense) had 79 wins last season. ONE park effects TWO one significant pitching injury to us should still leave us with a well above average pitching staff, which cincy and texas didnt have.
