What if they used today's baseballs?
I was watching the All-Star Game's Home Run (and pop-up) Hitting Contest and thinking about all the home runs hit this year, including the broken bat opposite field home runs hit by skinny, injured, triple A players... and it got me thinking about how I would have liked to have seen certain players from the past in the home run contest... and how certain match-ups or scenarios from the past would have been really interesting to see using today's "super ball."
I would love to see... Jimmie Foxx connect perfectly on a Bob Feller fastball Josh Gibson get it all on Satchel Paige's "Bee Ball." (First 800+ foot HR?) I am sad to say though, that Willie would not have made "The Catch" if they used this ball, because it would have been a home run! Anyway, I want to hear from you about match-ups, scenarios, things you would like to see, or how this ball would have dramatically altered a specific play. (We know it would have changed the whole history of the sport... so for fun, let's keep it to singular games or series). |
