Of course not, but 20 of the other guys on his team would have been working instead of spending the offseason working out, focusing on nutrition, hitting the batting cage, etc. Not sure what your point is in response to my post. Today's players are just so much bigger, stronger, well trained and coached year round, etc., the players of old wouldn't stand a chance of competing with them, IMO.
