Its all about individual stats and awards and never about titles. The San Fran's 2 title runs are the equivalent to what the NY Giants did yet it seems like it happened 10 years ago. For all the talk about Pujos greatness, his two championships tend to get lost in the mix. It seems like the only time people talk about titles is when major markets make big free agent splashes and 99 % of the time they never equate to a world series birth let alone a title. A lack of a salary cap and a distorted market for players have definitely hurt the sport.
As far as individual stats go, I think MLB puts too much stock in them.
If players are naturally bigger stronger faster than players in the 1920's what does that say about the level of competition Babe Ruth faced. What does that say about Cy Young and is 511 wins.
If pitchers back when Ruth played were throwing 30 complete games a year how hard could they have been throwing the ball in the first place. There were no radar guns back then so for allow we know he could've been crushing 70 mph fast balls. It's all bunch of hearsay.
