If Hank & Willie played in today's baseball, they'd both be better then Miggy & Trout.


Pretty sure they didnt have any Verlander, Scherzer, Felix, Kershaw, Zimmerman, Greinke, Price, Jose Fernandez, Chris Sale, or Yu Darvish type pitchers in that era either. There are 5 or more guys on any given staff that sit at 95 or better.

You don't think Aaron & Mays could hit a fastball? Lots of complete ignorance in this thread. The pitching mound was a lot higher back when Hank & Willie played and the parks were not as hitter friendly as they're now.
