No.
If you were at a old-time baseball game that some folks like to do, would you go around telling them that they're not doing it right because some of them are on modern fitness routines and diets the rest of the week? Of course not. The point of an old-time baseball game is to have fun while swinging an old bat, playing by old rules, wearing old uniforms, and apologizing to the fans when you slide and kick up dust on them. It's not about literally going back in time in every way. Nobody sane wants to change the rules just because modern players are different than players in 1860 were.
How is it possible that I have to explain this?
