Without a doubt, E. Koufax was 27-9 with an ERA of 1.73 his last season. He quit at age 30 because of arthritis.
He was just peaking when he was forced to retire. He'd mow hitters down like he did his final two seasons. Cobb's lifetime average of .367 occurred during the dead ball era.
His competitiveness and fierceness on the field would stand the test of time in any era. His ability would transcend time. He and Rose are the only hitters in the Over 4000 Hit club.
Yeah, he probably would have been suspended several times, but he wasn't a stupid man. He would have adjusted. As far as his attitude with the media, he'd hate them just like most celebs do.
He'd probably think Manny Ramirez would be too much of a showboat and he wouldn't have thought too kindly of some of the arrogant players that are playing these days. Josh Gibson hit over 800 HRs in the old Neg@o League. The experts in his day said he could hit balls as far as Babe Ruth ever did and just as frequently.
Even Walter Johnson said he was a player that could do it all as a catcher and hitter. Walter Johnson would have excelled in any era. The Big Train pitched for 21 seasons 'til the age of 39.
He had 417 wins, and a lifetime ERA of 2.17. He had 110 shutouts. His best season he was 36-7 with a 1.14 ERA.
He'd laugh at how hitters react when getting brush back pitches. He'd probably call them a bunch of sissies. All of them were great in their time and would be outstanding today as well.
Walter Johnson would be annoyed by the pitch count Josh Gibson I honestly don't know but I wish him well Cobb would get boo'd outta every liberal city in the US Koufax beginning of career suck but do well at the end.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
