most ball parks were never made equal and most had further fencelines and some didnt have any at all until the rules on the size of all ball parks were established. Drinking and drugs of those days does not constitute performance enhancers. They had a good time playing and all the partying that came with it. The history channel has quite a few good features on baseball, and player biographies and so on. Not taking away anything from jeter, but there really is no room for comparison with players in those times to the ones of todays era. No matter what you can come up with or try to argue. Lou gherig played 1000 games less then jeter. Yogi also did this feat with a thousand less games then Jeter. I feel those old records should stay and new records shold be established from the point where baseball is today. Not sure if it was the late 60's or 70's. It should be the same for all sports
