Baseball is so good now you cannot compare it to earlier eras. Saw a game from field level between first and home. You get to see 90% of the infield plays from there and I guarantee you that you have never ever seen play like this. If you are over 45 and haven't been to a game for 10 years or more you will shit your pants. Throws from third to first, a distance of 60 yards, take less than a second FOR EVERYBODY. Plays considered impossible in the 60s, such as a second baseman running away from first on the dead run and fielding a ground ball, THEN throwing to first to make an out are routine; a full 180 degree turn on a dime while on the dead run and throwing; everybody does it now. They say Bonds is trying for a .400 season. He may get it because he hits line drives to the outfield but those guys make "impossible" plays routine too.
