Default Would Cobb or Ruth Stand Up Against Today's Pitchers?
Posted By: David Smith

I think given today's diet and exercise regimens, smaller ball parks and "juiced" baseball, Cobb and Ruth would do just fine. This is especially true in places like Cincinnati's Great American Ball Park (or like I call it, GASP - Great American Small Park). Bill James says that park aids Left Handed hitters power numbers and if you look at Adam Dunn (a POOR hitter) you can see it. His Home and Away numbers are much different.

One other thing to consider is that old time ball players, like Ruth and Cobb, were offended if they Struck Out. So, if they got past that and swung for the fences like a LOT of today's ball players do, then their power numbers would increase.

Just my opinion,

David
