Show me a system of humans and I’ll show you a system that has corruption.

Humankind are fallible despite best efforts to keep them virtuous.

That said, some systems are more corrupt than others.

@dodgersphins @JScottWalkr @nut_history There was a lot going on. War, eventual integration. Objectively impossible for every current infielder to be an All-Star in the 1940s.

Pesky, Stanky, Vernon, Boudreau, Rizzuto, Doerr, Reese, Mize. Lots of guys today wouldn’t stand toe to toe with a number of them. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@dodgersphins @JScottWalkr @nut_history That isn’t the flex you think it is. Familiarity goes both ways.

@chriscrispy33 @BBGreatMoments Too often overshadowed by Mattingly and then McGriff and McGwire. He was great in his own right.

@dodgersphins @JScottWalkr @nut_history Stop what? You’re the one saying there were no players on the level of Eric Davis & Junior Griffey in the ‘50s. I shared a list of just centerfielders from the ‘50s.

I loved Eric the Red and The Kid, both, a lot, but Mays, Mantle, and Snider, alone, counter your statement.

@Kristinartz Thanks for noticing.

@NatashaCL7 They aren’t even the actual left.

@AlbertTheGee @BBGreatMoments @LennyDykstra Wee Willie Keeler is the reason bunting foul with two strikes is a strikeout, if I remember correctly.

@NOTsecguy @BBGreatMoments How many people don’t know this is a doctored photo?

@SigmaINFJ5w4 @OleTimeHardball Love how the guy blocks me to keep from responding. GTFOH, dude.

Stimulants don’t cause wholesale transformation of a player’s entire physique or enhance a player’s healing or recovery factor like HGH and derivatives do.

@SigmaINFJ5w4 @OleTimeHardball An entire order of magnitude different than BALCO and Victor Conte

@jimdoughty41 @nut_history Donnie Baseball started a double play as a third baseman. I want to see more of that. Lefty catchers, too.

@realMikeWMoore @nut_history Amen

@dodgersphins @JScottWalkr @nut_history Williams played more seasons in the integrated era against the best of the best than he played before integration, & his quality didn’t diminish.

He lost more segregated seasons to military service than he lost post-integration, too.

That takes nothing away from Gwynn, though.

@dodgersphins @nut_history This take does meet the requirements of the initial post, for sure.

@nut_history The DH experiment was a failure and should be ended in both leagues.

Shohei Ohtani will have to play in the field in order to also hit, and I’d like to see that.
