This thread is obviously on the wrong board, 'cause it looks like everyone is pretty much in agreement, even me. Can't have that here!
Mentioning Lincecum reminds me of what I thought when I first saw him pitch. If you cut the hair you have an old fashioned ballplayer. He leans a bit to get the delivery point higher, has old arm extension, stride, pivot, follow through... he looks like he should be in flannel, with sweat soaked sleeves. The kid is from a previous generation, or three, in style. A stout-hearted pitcher, as mentioned in that poem at the beginning of a chapter in The Glory of Their Times.

Due to systematic racism and the lack of an international pool of talent, we have to take that into account when determining just "how great" the players of the pre-1947 big leagues were. There's NO doubt that football and basketball players of today are eons better than their peers, not so sure about baseball though....that's what makes it so great.

Jimmie Foxx & Josh Gibson would do some serious damage, Gehrig & Cobb too!
