Mantle vs Mays....Runs Produced Index

Posted By: jay behrens

Ted, I'm not questioning whether you are telling the truth or not. I used to run track and follow pretty closely. When sprinting, most top athlete reach their maximum speed about the 200m point and then start to slow down. They occassionally run a 50 yard and 50m sprint at indoor meets. Last I remember, the record for 50y still just under 5.0 seconds. If Mantle and Ashburn honestly could run to first in 3.0 seconds, then this would translate to about 9.0 or 9.1 second 100m dash, and record is 9.85. As was mentioned, sportwriters with stopwatches and handheld timing is very unreliable.
