As good as Jim Brown was in his day DL, LBs and DBs are all faster and stronger than they were in the 60's. Would he have dominated as much today as he did then? How about Wilt going up against the size and strength of today's average NBA player?
    The size argument is invalid. Manute Bol should have been way better, same with Yao Ming. Spud Webb destroyed the size thing, also. Wilt was way ahead of his time in skill.

    That being said, with baseball, agree: the conditioning, talent pool, etc etc does play into everything. Bartolo Colon is the exception in the conditioning. Maybe Captain Cheeseburger Sabathia.

        Size is just one component and there will always be exceptions. Wilt was a head of his time and he wouldn't put up 100 today.

            This, and also agree with Slap. I doubt anyone would put up 80 today (IIRC, I thought someone hit 70 a couple years ago).

                    I stand corrected on Kobe. That was an impressive thing.

                        The replies are very, very good (or is is berry, berry good?)

                        @adamgfisher: Exit velos are lower at Citi Field than any other park and this kills the Mets offense at home. If they can figure out the cause of this and fix it (wind patterns, baseball storage conditions?), it is bigger than almost any acquisition.

                          I researched whether there is data to back that up. When I got to the assertion that it's air turbulence from LaGuardia planes I silently put my computer away, peeled a banana, and scratched myself.

                            @TB_Times: BREAKING: Among the changes the Rays announced this morning are reducing capacity to 25,000-26,000 and eliminating the upper 300 level.

                                Son just said “so no more $5 tickets where I can move down to the bottom level?”

                                Yep, that about sums it up. No more cheap tickets
