What about it though?

@@jarrodromanowski7559 Amen, brother. Back then, they called steroids "alcohol", and they certainly could have benefitted from some of the medicine and technology that has preserved and extended careers today. I don't like to get into the comparison, but I think some of the players of Cobb's time would have been in hysterics with laughter about certain approaches to the game today. We're not going to see anybody ever win 511 games, and hell, as things are now, best of luck seeing a 30 game winner, which happened "only" 53 years ago.

@@QuarrellaDeVil I no doubt think the dead ball era would be disgusted with the peds. But it's so ingrained in all of sports that it's almost a requirement these days. My Brother in law is great friends with a guy named Owen Schmidt that played fullback for the Raiders and a couple other teams. He said it's not really talked about but 90% of the league uses them. Pretty much all the big names cycle on and off. But think about guys like Ty Cobb or Honus Wagner or Babe Ruth. With today's dieticians and training regimen or even the peds, they would put today's talent to shame and back then these guys hit the bottle heavy, were smokers and didn't really train much and got by on their talent alone. Guys were throwing 90mph fastballs without peds or proper fitness and nutrition. It would take some adjusting but guys like Cobb could damn well have played today.
