Hopefully not too OT…

I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube colorized footage of mlb in the early 20th century. Of course Ruth appears quite a bit. Has anybody else noticed that he has a really extreme approach to hitting where he “runs up” as the ball is delivered?

Watch him and then watch some Gehrig footage. Lou stays pretty stationary and uses that phenomenal lower body development, more Like a slugger of recent eras.

But Ruth ! It’s amazing to me that he could meet the ball on the nose as much as he is moving. He supposedly had very spindly legs relative to his upper body strength, and I guess his hand-eye coordination was at an almost impossible level.
