I'm reminded of a supposed exchange between Ty Cobb and a reporter in 1950 or so. The reporter asked Cobb, if you played today, what do you think you would hit?
Cobb replied, .270 or so.
The reporter asked, are today's players really that much better than in your day?
Cobb replied, no, but I am 65.
