Is modern athletics straining the human body beyond its natural strengths?

We used to play dodgeball with golf balls. Now that's a risk.

We'd line up guys against a giant brick wall and hurl golf balls.

I was born in 1950 and I remember in grade school playing in gym class, what we called murder ball

I feel sorry for these kids. Every sport is year round. Muliple sport kids are rare these days.

My youngest grandson plays HS football. It seems like he's always in training, lifting, working out.

Re: baseball pitchers. The thinking is that reduced batters faced = pitchers over-throwing.

Yep a good start now is lasting 6 innings. I miss the complete game pitcher but they didn't throw

Yeah, when I first saw Tim Lincecum throw like an explosion, I thought that arm wouldn't last long.
