    - I'm not sure what the theory is. That the 1920's were terrible for all the teams without one of the 3 biggest power hitters? - Will Hunting May 21, 07:53 13
      - The Yankees of the 20's were the Canadiens of the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Just way ahead of everyone else in a lot of areas. -- nm - Subversive May 21, 07:57 9
        
        Exactly. Nowadays, 90% of teams have enough guys who can put up offense in a hurry that no team is going to have an 'advantage' due to the wind tunnl -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 08:01 2

        It doesn't. Your theory (which is basically saying Gehrig and Ruth were better than the rest) doesn't hold water 80 years later. - Will Hunting May 21, 08:08

        Anyone who argues the Yankees of the 1920's wasn't a great power in sports undercuts any concept they have a clue about sports in general. - Will Hunting May 21, 08:03 1

        Historical Yankees! Try and get me to say something good about the current Yankees, just try! -- nm - Subversive May 21, 08:03

        I don't buy it. Great hitters are great hitters. Visiting teams hit in the same park as the home team, if you know what I mean. -- nm - Subversive May 21, 07:58 1
