How athletic is Ortiz, dude is 40 yo and listed at 230 BA.312 HR 27 RBI 92
Just want to make sure I have your opinion correct here...

You're saying that athletes from the 1920s are just as good as athletes today? Athletes today are not actually bigger/stronger/faster and dropping any of the top 5-10 hitters or pitchers in today's game, and they wouldn't dominate in the 1920s on an absurd level?

Is that what you're saying?



And to your point on Ortiz, he has proven a great ability to hit pitching in TODAY'S game. That's the difference, and that's no small difference.

My point is you don't have to be super athletic.

Are the majority of mlb players, sure.

I don't think you appreciate the skill of hitting a baseball. Babe Ruth would hit today.
