While finding a picture for another thread, I came across this footage from the '30s. It is baseball, but so many topics discussed thoroughly on this site were seen as issues back then as well. Hitting mechanics, throwing mechanics, pitching grips, fielding techniques, rundowns, fielder obstruction, angry adults, poor field conditions.
The also have other topics not as common today, such as sharing one bat, using stones for bases, wearing ties as part of the uniform, a telephone pole on the right side of the infield, snow plow blades in the outfield, and NO umpires.

Sorry, can't get the link to work

Yes, for the most part in the game itself the topics are the same. It's just new generations talking about it.
