In our lifetimes, to get a visceral feel for what Ruth and Teddy were like.
After Bonds bulked up, the pitchers were literally the underdogs in each AB, routinely walking him rather than throwing him a pitch to hit.
It wasn't legitimate, but it did show us what Ted Williams would have looked like in the 1940's and 1950's.

And, quite a tribute to Joe Mauer, that his AVG/OBP/Power would not have looked out of place on Teddy's baseball card.

JMC, if you have any more Boston flavor text :- ) I'd love to hear it, man.
