on Earth that would have the ability to make contact with this pitch, let alone hit it with authority.

Baseball's not easy kids.

Not easy at all. A really good contact hitter would foul it off. An Albert Pujols type hitter circa 15 years ago would have yanked that into the second deck in left field. Most would swing and miss.

BTW, Tony Gwynn would have hit it to the 5.5 hole for a single.

Gwynn was a freak.

He's part of the Musial/Williams/Carew/Cobb mold of guys who could hit anything.

Its true. Babe Ruth was a fat fuck.
I think he was more athletic than people gave him credit for. A lot of what people take this from were pictures of him from in his later years.

That being said, players then weren't nearly as into taking care of their bodies as they are now.

P.S. And would you call an NFL offensive lineman a non-athlete? They usually carry a lot of weight around (with emphasis on round/heavy)

He never had the makings of a varsity athlete. Don't bother.

Have you ever seen these big linemen run the 40? Squat 1000 pounds? Bench press a toyota?
You're trying too hard.
