How would Albert Pujols perform during Babe Ruth's era? - index of babe
Carlos Beltran question here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index ...
I thought it was really interesting, and someone has an update on how the "what if" s in both directions. Just as Albert Pujols in the era of Babe Ruth.
Some things to note before he answered:
1. The point, feeding, training and growing conditions and how difficult it was at the time of Ruth.
Consider this: The players were stronger because they were living under conditions that all products of our environment if they lived in modern times and will be charged the way players are facing today holds not much to see if the difference in the physical.
Special arrangements are not necessary because the food was fresh and healthy. There are a wide range of foods and supplements today, but also processed foods, which comes with a diet too low, pesticides and hormones injected into beef (cancer risk).
Training: I do not think that modern education has little effect on players. I advanced trainings necessary because the players are not raised to be strong as ever. Life was much more physical in the days and permanent, regular exercise was not necessary.
2. The talent pool is much smaller. The world has much less to all of today's technology it is possible to obtain a larger amount of talent. Baseball was also laid to rest. Babe Ruth did not face Satchel Paige (Babe Ruth never during the exhibition games I think it's sorta met suspicion) and Joe Williams. While Babe Ruth had to know the best players, half would probably not have played if the leagues were merged and allowed to play blacks and Hispanics face.

While it may be true that Babe Ruth never Satchel Paige is also true that there are still Satchel Paige Babe Ruth. It works in both directions. If Ruth did not face Paige, then have the greatest player of all time.
Both suffered the league and all the major white Negr0 League not to put the best players in the league. You can not automatically assume that all NFL players would automatically Negr0 the big leagues when the opportunity to try it. We guarantee that Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, Joe Jackson, have simply taken the trouble to Negr0 League player Oscar Charleston and John Henry Lloyd and Josh Gibson could easily have jobs from the white major leagues can be removed.
Neither was Babe Ruth Satchel Paige faced the best players of his time.
What Pujols would be a good thing in a different time, is my view that all stars could compete in any time very well, no matter when and where they ask. If Pujols is then he'dd to the 1920s,efinitely live a different life than you do now ... and the game would be something else ... Take some more that could be the massive strike zone of the 1920s, focusing on his knees to his shoulders used (as opposed) to the current lap days Strike Zone contrast. Travel was difficult ... long journeys by train or bus into the theft of luxury. Fleabag hotels instead of luxury hotels on the road. No personal trainers. You can also get a job out of season, as MLB has not paid the majority of players good enough to earn a living all year ... Moreover, as Bob, throwing pitchers sites the Games would have been released today to deceive.
Re: the talent pool ... Until the 1960s and '70s, baseball is about all athletes. Every athlete to play, could all sports, baseball in general elect, if I could ... Baseball is better than football or basketball to be paid at the time. Baseball is not necessarily the best athletes.
However, a great player a great player is ... Pujols is a great player, no matter where and when he played as Honus Wagner would have been great in all circumstances.
In addition, "Albert Pujols" the player would be different if a 2009 Pujols teleported back to the 1920s as an "actor Albert Pujols, who was born around 1900, to meet. The 1900 Pujols is not the same man who in 2009, Pujols .
I read his earlier work and it is interesting and good things. Short and sweet, with few exceptions, most of the players who were on both Excel (and Pujols), I think, to do so in a different time. Probably there are exceptions. Pujols is a great knight, who was also a wonderful game, and would at the time of the child.
Good question.
Im not going to write an essay, but I say ....
He is a man among boys.
I will not go into their beliefs about diet and training, because there is not enough space to dissect this argument is false. But I say: Look at the start. Cans in the era of Ruth had two locations. A fastball and the ball so quickly. We are not talking about throwing the present time, they can do things with a ball that defies physics. People today are bigger, stronger, smarter and faster than they were in the 20s. It is not even a debate, actually. Then Pujols in the era of Ruth?
, 550 batting average of over 1,400 runs, 5,000 RBIs and 6,000 hits. And this could be a conservative estimate. Think about it, he faces a pitchers poor spend almost every day and always go 9 innings. I do not think a day passes without Pujols, not least 3-4 with a homer.

"But I say: Look at the starting line. Launchers at the time of Ruth was two sites. A fastball and the ball so quickly. We are not talking about throwing these days, they can do things with a ball that defies physics. "
You know, "Diddley-squat" about the origins of baseball. Jugs Curveball also laid so bad, Screwball, falls, etc., could "doctor" the ball with saliva, pieces of paper, the juice of tobacco, snuff, etc. In addition, the balls do not always clean and white. Were used until they are almost completely useless.
To learn more about the history of MLB, before they stupid statements.
Bob
An indication of the talent: Yes, it was smaller, because (of segregation and fewer international players even though Ruth faced Luis Tiant, the father of the great Leaguer in Cuba, and some say better pitcher than his son and he struck Tiant) . However, a smaller pool was more concentrated, with only 8 teams in each league. The players have been pushed harder, often for years, he played an advantage, but sometimes to the detriment of his career in general.
It is difficult, a player of his time, but I think Pujols is one of the greatest of all time, and it would ultimately play (at the time, if permitted, otherwise we would have been one of the great * ** ** League, which by many players better anyway).
I think there is more talent in the game today in the 1920s. Players who are not only the color black. There are so many players from Latin America today (only had a few in the 1920s) and increasingly in Japan and the rest of Asia and exploration to find the best talent is much more complicated than it was then.
Really talented players like Ruth, I would have done well, even then, but I think a lot of players who played in the 1920s would not be the player the caliber of the major leagues in modern times.
While you could adapt psychologically in the game in 1920 is no reason for the talent Pujols is not a star at this time.
The assumption that had grown up in an environment gues it would be a player very similar to Ruth ... large eyes, a strong and coherent approach, 300 + hitter.
While the assumption, however, that the game was much lower than today, is simply stupid.
As for the swimming pool "talent" and "race" issues, looks like this. If you took all the white players in the Major League 30 teams and has trained over 12 teams from all white men, do you really think these teams are "inferior" talent wise? Did you update the statistics of the players that "only" had Josh Beckett, John Lester and Tim Linceum on a series of three days of face?
As with "Bigger, Stronger" points. Notice how much bigger and stronger "than were people like Albert was born in 1920, what happens when that argument is, in principle, that all modern context and not on pure talent. For my part, I think Talent, Pujols would be a star in 1930 and Ruth to be a star today.
Finally, I think it only works in both directions. Take the 20 stars of today to put UNIS wool and leather shoes hard ... wearing helmets and flak jackets at bat, then the pitchers, who threw hard, usually in the "brush" rotation, that means all referees as part of the game in the face. " In fact, the steps are badly lit and shot not pure white.
I think that half the boys to fight and see the numbers range from 30% ... I also suspect that two or three guys would be (including Alberti on) make it good.
Forget the days of Babe Ruth was better to keep the **** card against the Dodgers.
St. Louis was the favorite of leaving the National League and 2-O from.
Great starter job last night.
The time for the team, Pujols continued his shoulders.
This would be a nail at any time. (Assuming that your body is, of course, since no pump steroids in the 20s)
