Training regimes have become pretty sophisticated. As a result, professional baseball players have become more and more superhuman in their trade, with injuries also healing much more effectively.
The advancements in technology, equipment, and theory are especially obvious when you take a look what it used to be like. Take, for example, the famously out of shape Babe Ruth who had a very peculiar “workout” as part of his annual battle against his waistline. What a strange sentence.
What the heck was going on there? It honestly looked like the trainer was getting more exercise than Babe. For all we know the narrator was getting more exercise just talking. Well, either way. Babe Ruth is still one of the greatest baseball players to swing the twig, so who are we to judge?
