In my humble opinion -A fair argument cannot be made to judge a person (or ball player) from another era based on the standards we've set for today.

Even if someone today tried their hardest to abide by the stand the standards of 100 years from now, he can only guess (and likely wrongly) what they will be.

Anson once tweeted some racist garbage.

Mantle had less-than-respectful tweets about women.

I'm sure one of the other old-timers had homophobic tweets.


Wait, am I mixing too many eras?


History is not to be erased, but to be learned from.
