Yeah. No helmet, digging in, and Big D, Wynn, or Gibby on the mound. They'd spend the whole at-bat looking up from their backside.

I think one thing the earlier (pre-90s anyway) players had is that they were more complete. Everybody batted. Shoot, Drysdale let the Dodgers in hitting one year. Everybody could bunt, well.

The game has gotten too specialized, I think.

That would be a super series to watch.
