BIlly Wagner doesnt throw 106 and Walter Johnson never threw 100 MPH. Besides fastballs are the easiest pitch to hit. I would rather face 90+ MPH fastballs all day long over any breaking pitches. Also the offspeed pitches, breaking balls, etc. have been mastered over time and I would say are alot better........hence alot more movement. Johnson maybe threw hard (maybe up to 90) but I doubt they could make those deadballs move like the live ones of today. As far as the Cobb fabrication goes......if that would have happened every newspress in the country would have printed it just like Babe's called shot.
