If they could they would. Players always did what they could to get an edge. This “guys playing for the joy and love of the game” or “playing the good ole right way” thing has always been a lie, and the players themselves were the first to admit it (mostly when they were old and retired, of course).
Ruth would not have cared. Neither would have Aaron, Gehrig, Mantle, Cobb, Hornsby, Jackson, etc. Williams might possibly have shown an interest, but probably not.

Do you get more points for hitting a home run farther?

Stan Musial would DEFINITELY have cared! He’s the one who figured out that a lighter bat was more effective than a heavy one, after all.

Ichiro didn’t care and he broke George Sisler’s one season hits record a few years back. I doubt if George cared either
