Low,
What "used to be" didn't always mean it was better.

Disagree. Bob Gibson was better than Lincecum. Feller was better than Chapman. Hitting was better before Charley Lau and his nonsense theories came along. The game was different. The zone was larger, and the hitters had more space to cover.

Hitters had to think, and so did pitchers. It wasn't whoever has the best "stuff" or the best whatever wins. It was a cerebral game, and it took intelligence to know how to play. Read The Glory of Our Times if you haven't.
