Shohei leads off with a home run and pitches 5 shutout innings. Ruth never did that.

Due to roids.

I laugh at teetotalers crying about Ruth drinking beer.

better diet, hitting the gym.......not the bar perhaps?

you know they are tested for enhancements........right?

100 years ago they did not having running machines
quad, forearm, etc workout equipment

they did what they could with what they had, that's it

it just gets me when people say ruth was a fat guy.....the guy led the league in runs scored 8x no one has come close to doing that except ted williams who led 6x...you cant be fat and do that....he scored 150 runs 6x...and is the only player in history to score 170 runs...

not fat.......they were kinda a bit chubby? well Ted was not but ruth was kinda pudgy

OF did not have the arms they do today, just stronger, my agile, control
