Right Field—376 feet

What would Clemente or Kaline have done in an era when the pitching talent is as watered down as it is today?
We dont know what they would have done, we can only go by what they did. Since Forbes was so cavernous why didnt Clemente hit more doubles and have a higher average as there is a lot more ground to cover? While pitching may be watered down the era of facing fresh relief pitchers and the constant lefty/righty matchups has to be considered as does the closers role.
