Lots of people who were born 50 years after Ruth died are experts in his raw talent level. Interesting.

His accomplishments are on paper. How his level of talent matches up to the best players today? It doesn't. Would be as silly as arguing that the best mile runner in 1934 or best field goal kicker in 1950 anyway be competitive today. They wouldn't.

Could Ruth have thrived today with all the advance in training, medicine, etc? Who tf knows. His bout with venereal disease wouldn't have helped.
