It's possible due to training that they would, but if we are somehow assuming a player like Wagner could be in the same game as Mike Schmidt, then what are the condition the games are being played under? There isn't a major leaguer playing right now that could survive a week if they were thrust into a 19th century game facing Old Hoss Radbourn from 50 feet away and they're not wearing a batting helmet. A week in 19th century conditions and they would quit. I'm sure a 19th century player would have to adjust too, but he's adjusting the opposite way. He could get lazy with all the amenities.
