My first thought regarding Ruth playing in the deadball era and having a T206 was that he wouldn't have been the homerun machine that he was after the deadball era. He came along right when the ball was getting "juiced" and he fit right in as a power hitter. I have a feeling he wouldn't have been so huge if he was in the deadball era and Cobb would've easily eclipsed him in popularity.
Just my thoughts. Anyone else have an opinion on this? Maybe I'm way off?
Thanks,
