There are lots of athletes with enviable talent - what do you think most of them are doing to get to that "amazing" or "superhuman" level?

This opinion alludes to what I like most about Mad Bum. He's the archetypal farm boy from the 1920s, performing on raw strength and guts. He doesn't need 'riods. And why should he? Pitchers back in the day routinely pitched 300 innings in a season. Mad Bum could, too. One doesn't have to get all cynical when they see someone doing great things. There are still those who can do it on natural talent.
