Wooden bats and MUCH better pitching.
The thread should end there.
I’m too young to have ever seen either play but the obvious issue with this theory is that There are still wooden bats and better pitching now but guys like Bregman and the Nola Bros, even as far back as DJ Lamehieu (sp?) made it.
Why couldn’t a guy that hit 30 bombs a year and hit almost .400 have any semblance of a pro career? Was the talent in college baseball really that bad back then?

Yes that’s the reason. Back in those days you’d routinely see teams play kids they found on local club teams and such. Come to think of it I remember the teams would leave their gloves on the field so the other team could use them the following half inning.
We’ve come a long way

I played with a guy who hit 30 HRs in class A and got released the next season. Pro ball is a different animal.

LOL this comment (obviously innocent) made me laugh. Wasn't that long ago...five of LSU's 6 NC's came before him.
