re: How would Ted Williams do in today's game?

This is true.

But he also didn't have a strike zone the size of a nickel. Back then, it was knees to chest and width of the plate.

You think people didn't throw heat back then? You're a dumbass if you do. Now stand in there with a much larger strike zone, pitchers than don't give a shite about hitting you and a fricking ball cap for a helmet. Mf'ers were full on body armor to the plate now. Y'all forget that Ted would have access to all the modern training, nutrition etc. and wouldn't have gone to fight in Korea during his prime. Anybody shitting on Ted Williams needs to sit out any further baseball talks.
