Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4400448, member: 7511"] I had pointed out in another post that Boston had already begun to significantly cut back Ruth’s pitching in the 2 years before he was traded to the Yankees, and it was only then that he became a regular position player. In addition, there was no option for Ruth to Dan Hurley like Ohtani, on the days he wasn’t pitching. So back in the 1920’s, when all baseball games were played during the heat of the day, it is doubtful that a beer guzzling, hotdog eating player like Ruth could have managed to do what a fit young guy like Ohtani, who only Dan Hurley’s when he’s not pitching, is able to do.
