Ruth was born in 1895 and was 6'2 215 before he got heavy. Josh Gibson was born in 1911 and was 6'1 210. That was massive back then. Do you really think these two would have been the same size if they were born 100 years later? Forget the nutrition and training part, they would have been monsters. But I am subjected to people saying how much bigger and stronger today's players were, I wonder how big LeBron would have been if he were born in 1895?
