Even if you're one of those idiots who thinks every player now is better than every player a few decades ago, this is pretty extreme in it's stupidity.
I thought this guy was considered the writer for "smart" fans?

Baseball has the advantage of hitting full time player status earlier than most leagues so the players were closer to today than in other sports where guys had to work other jobs. |

Some more gems from him on this: Quote: Joe Sheehan @joe_sheehan Following Following @joe_sheehan More Joe Sheehan Retweeted Charlie Scrabbles 5’7”, 160 Charlie Scrabbles @ChuckScrabbles I think the idea expressed here is legitimate and interesting and provocative. But to be clear, Joe Morgan would still be a boss killer if he was playing today. https://twitter.com/joe_sheehan/status/ ... 4238966784 … 12:09 PM - 10 Aug 2018 Great point! Surely a guy Altuve's size could never succeed today. Quote: Devin McCullen @spudsfan 1h1 hour ago More Replying to @joe_sheehan Not saying he was the best, but might be the most easily comparable - how does 1977 Nolan Ryan come out today? Joe Sheehan @joe_sheehan 1h1 hour ago More He has Joe Nathan’s career. This guy is too dumb for words. How is he respected at all? |

Back when ESPN classic was still around, you could catch Mark Fidrych pitch a Monday night baseball game back in the late 70's against the Yankees. This was before "the Bird" messed up his arm in a bar scuffle and before Roger Craig pioneered the split-finger fastball. No idea what Fidrych called any of his pitches, but they jumped all over the place on the way in. Looked like knuckle-ball movement on a 90+ mph pitches. Quick delivery too. Hitters mostly flailed into weak ground-outs off of Fidrych. Not really a big k guy. 31 starts his first full season, 97 K's. But he led the majors that season with 24 complete games and best in baseball that year 2.34 ERA. |

Joe Sheehan has always been an asswipe. Guy had some crazy hatred for Scott Podesednik when he was voted into the All-Star Game in 2005 |
