Casual fans and young fans are always going to overrate current players, and old fans are always going to be unduly nostalgic and overrate older players.

That is true. My dad claims Jackie Robinson had the most amazing career he ever saw. Historic and iconic of course but not greatest numbers of all time. Ditto Roberto Clemente (whose career was of course also tragically cut short).

At a Yankee Old Timers Game in 1973 as 9 year old I ran past Joe DiMaggio to get an autograph from Roy White. Just glad I got to meet DiMaggio in later years.

John D. - Your are my new hero! Roy was always a fine gentleman in spite of having to play in my hometown during the sixties and DiMaggio was a jerk EVERY time.
