In talking with Lamber, I was reminded of some great clips I have of Ruth playing pepper. Even in those pepper drills one can see the differences with the modern day amateur pepper player and Ruth. I have no knowledge of it, but my assumption is that pepper was rampid back in those days. Is there anyone else that buys the notion that great hitting mechanics can be seen even in a game of pepper?

Hey Coach C is there any possibility of posting those clips of Ruth playing pepper so we could all see how he did it?
