of pitchers throwing in the dirt to get batters out. It amazes me how professional hitters are fooled by this.
On another note did Babe Ruth ever seen a pitch over 70mph , a cutter, a breaking ball, a relief pitcher, or a slider. He would hit about .230 against a high school pitcher today.

Would like to see how Babe Ruth would fair in today's game though...
so your contention is that no MLB pitcher had any arm strength whatsoever unitl 1980 or so?
perhaps another question to consider would be the performance of today's players in a dead ball era without PEDs...
I would only disagree with this part of your discussion, as we all know that wasnt true.....as it seems we will not reach an understanding on this issue, I have stated my case, and I respect your opinion and disagree with it......that will be all from me......have a blessed day.....
A decent analogy would be Jethro Bodine of the Beverly Hillbillies. You no that kid who has a mustahe/ beard in the 5th grade. The Babe was the Jethro of his time. He was bigger and stronger than his non minority competitors. The Babe was truly a Gorilla playing against SNAKES.
can't believe Huey took the bait on this one....
