A corked bat is far far different from a person who throws on artificial muscle and basically changes the physics of his body. If anything the records should be more amazing in those days because they didn't concern themselves with body nutrition, and they didn't have trainers living at their house.

There's a difference between natural talent and talent bought on line.
