They'd have to use 1900 baseball gloves, padding, shoes and wool
uniforms. No flying to games, they'd have to ride Ford Buses or ride
the train (or go by steamship) or horse and buggy. They could work out,
but using 1900 exercise equipment and 1900 era ideas of nutrition (and
1900 quality canning technology). Oh, and they'd all have to have those
Abner Doubleday handlebar moustaches...
