All sports are different today. The athletes are bigger, stronger and faster than in the past. This is true even without any chemical enhancements.

The technologies are so much better today, as well. Baseballs go farther, golf clubs are bigger and more reflexive, sailboats are faster and tennis rackets are bigger, too.

You observation is excellent, kaiross12. It's impossible to compare an athlete's accomplishment from 50 years ago with those of today. The world has changed.

Plus, there are 162 baseball games in a season; it used to be 154! (wink)
