Today’s players make enough money to pay personal trainers, dieticians, etc. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to keep them in optimal playing condition. In Honus Wagner’s day, he had to be some rich person’s personal trainer during the off-season just to make enough money to survive on. My how times have changed, huh? Think about that before idolizing today’s athletes and the gaudy numbers they put up.

If you were pumped full of steroids, given the dietitian and strength coaches, would you hit 60 homers in the bigs?
