In 1956 the mound was higher than today which is a big advantage for the pitcher.
The ball in 1956 was made differently,was not as lively as todays ball.
Pitcher could still throw at or brushback hitters without worry,unlike todays pitchers who get a warning for pitching inside!
The strike zone was in 1956 was from the armpits to the top of the knee,not like todays small strike zone.
Watching a junk ball pitcher like Larsen on his best day is not a way to judge the quality of hitting or pitching in that era.
Perhaps todays hitters take better care of themselves then again there's more muscle pulls by far today than back then.We won't go into drugs like steroids.
My guess is that hitters from that era would flourish in todays hitter friendly game.
