I grew up with the 1959 Go-Go Sox. If they had been in a time machine, and gone back to 1910 or so, they would have done just fine. That was the style in those days--solid singles hitters, lots of speed, lots of pitching. Nellie Fox would have shone.

@alexlvsport Well the blacksox thing had more to do with gangland chitown. In that day it was easier to do busness with them guys then being honest, and when u wanted to change they had ways to force you to keep with the plane, remember the movie, they threating one of the pitchers wifes if he didn't go with it.

True instead of getting rid of those two historic ball parks they reinventize them and build it bigger.

@evrbody good point. guess i wasn't really thinking about that. but still. the old game didn't have the commercial intentions it does today.

@newyorkbaseballgiant None of the ballparks had bad seats? How about the obstructed view seats behind the support beams?

@avskickass15 There were ads all over the ballparks back then. The outfield walls were covered with them. The Green Monster in Fenway wasn't even originally green because it was covered with ads.

Some players today still play for the love of the game. It's not fair to categorize players. Even back then some were greedy like the Black Sox players. It varies person to person. I personally like the dead ball era less home runs pitchers had great mechanics and tommy john was unheard of. Your right about the classic parks i think tearing down yankee stadium was a huge mistake waste of money.

If I ever get my hands on a time machine......
