On average, is it harder to hit the modern day pitcher or the average pitcher when Ted Williams played?


Do you have any idea of the doctoring of the ball that happened back then? Pitches had tons of movement. 72 mph fastball? Where are you getting that one from?

Ken Burns is somewhat reliable and it was amazing to hear during the Ty Cobb era...they'd use one ball for the entire game and pitchers would scuff it up so much, the ball would be black and lost to the batter in the twilight.
