| Do you think Today's MLB teams could beat America's past time why or why not? |

ok so as history shows the great teams of all-time are from the early 1900's so if they played each other do you think Today's MLB Team's could beat America's past time ok I will re ask my question Do you think Today's MLB teams could beat America's past if America's past time had the kind of training we do today. |

No the defense of to days players is very poor.Bad defense allows runs to score that other wise would not.Seldom in the past did teams score more than five runs per game.If a team scores five runs today threes a great chance they will loose. |

No not at all. The teams of yesteryear had heart & determination. They played for the love of the game much more than today's players who are spoiled beyond belief. The players of yesteryear played through many injuries while today's players go on the DL for a papercut. Yesteryears pitchers would pitch a complete game throw & come back to pitch again 2 days later(Cy Young Walter Johnson are some examples) While today's pitchers are wusses who cry to be taken out of the game after throwing 90 pitches. There was no such thing as that wussy pitch count that today's Baseball has. Easily- players today are such better athletes and train all year round. Plus, any nationality or ethnicity is eligible to participate, increasing the pool of able players. I agree with the second poster. With the talent and athletes in today's game, I think they would pummel the older generation if they played each other as they were(are). Todays players are stronger and in better shape than the older players, plus there are players of every race and ethnicity today. I do, however, think that the players of yesteryear would still be great players in the modern age because they would be subject to the same stimuli..better training, smaller parks, livlier ball, etc. It's really impossible to compare the teams of the early 1900s to the teams of today. The older teams played in larger ball parks, they had to deal with pitches like the spitball and the emery ball. Pitchers could do whatever they wanted with the ball. It was more of a speed game back in those days. And obviously there was the issue of race and how blacks and other minorities could not play in the majors (although there were many great Native American players in those days). But it was even harder for the white players to get into the majors. A lot of players got discovered through luck, for example, every town had a baseball team and a player would get discovered if a scout just happened to be passing through the town that day and saw the player play. It was a completely different era. The game has changed too much to compare todays teams to the teams of the 1900s. No. There are so many differences. The most glaring one is pitching. I think so Because the Players are Bigger and stronger and More Athletic then 100 Years ago, Players weren't like that in 1900's HGH and Steroids Didn't even Exist then, so they only get better now. |
