No but they will help you send that ball the better part of 1,000 feet when you do hit it.
Otherwise it would probably just be a popup
Todays guys cant compare to guys of past, Everything is different from the equipment they use (Todays balls are designed to go farther then in the days of Ruth) To the way they condition and prepare for a game is totally different
When Bonds stops lifting weights, lets himself go to pot (figuratively speaking) Stays out all night getting trashed then comes in and swats a couple of balls over the fence. then I'll be impressed.
Same thing with other sports.
Golf... if you really wanna call that glorified hobby a sport is another classic example.
I'd like to see how well todays hotshots do using clubs and balls from the 30's and 40's.
Everything is just so different you just cant compare the two as they are practically in different worlds
