Amazing footage of the 1924 WS. Seems very well filmed for the era.

I very well could be wrong, but whenever I see footage of pitchers pitching in games way back when, Its no wonder some hitters could hit the .400 mark for a season (along with the gloves the fielders used and field conditions) and its very evident why that will never happen again. The pitchers LOOK like they are hitting about 85mph at best. Its almost just all arm without the full body torque and legs like it is with modern day pitchers. Think of Nolan Ryan, Randy Johnson, Roger Clemens and the list goes on.
Imagine Mike Trout hitting against any of the top pitchers back then. He would probably hit .500 with 80 HR in a season. Just food for thought.

3 out of 5 scenes showing pitchers pitching were not WJ. Even still and blasphemous as it may be, even watching WJ pitch, you can see its all arm.
I cant recall where i watched it, but I recently saw a video demonstrating how they calculated his pitch speed and showed that it was 83mph.
