In the 50s Cobb was asked what he would hit if he were playing today, and he said, around .270. The questioner was shocked and said are today's players really that much better? He said no, but I am 70 years old.

Although he'd be 121 years old if he played today, I'd still gladly put him in left for my Giants.

Here's a comparison for you: Nobutaka Taguchi of Japan won the Gold Medal in the 1972 100m backstroke (the same Olympics of Mark Spitz's 7 wins) with a time of 104.94. He would have finished second in the 2016 Olympics behind Lilly King's time of 104.93. Of course, he would have been racing against women in the 2016 Olympics, as opposed to the males he won against in 1972.

Yes but if he was born in 1996 he likely is still a gold medalist. Humanity has not evolved physically in such a short time, it's better training, nutrition science, etc...
