BASEBALL MEMORABILIA

Are the widely accepted factors which affect physical human height development highly mythical?

No scientific study has been carried out to show or determine the true primary factor which affects human growth. 100 years ago the average height in the UK amongst both sexes was 2 inches shorter than currently.

It’s true that environment plays a bigger role than previously thought. There was an article just the other day about how the Dutch are about eight inches taller on average than they were just 100 years ago. People were definitely smaller in the past. I suspect this is due to nutritional and hygiene habits, but there were tall people in history, so genetics has to have a very important role.

The pitcher’s arm thing: most people’s dominant arm is slightly longer than their other arm normally, and despite anecdotal evidence, the idea of a pitcher’s arm lengthening because of the pitching motion has never been proven.
