And that is the argument that is often made; heck, I make it all the time, too. Except when steroids made Barry Bonds so much better.................
Has human hand / eye coordination not improved in the past century? Has it been constant for the the past 100, 200, 1000 years?
Hey, Ruth was the most dominant player in baseball history - that is a fact. I just don't believe that he would have the same impact now as when he did play.
