This is where you talked about the all time team in a thread about Ohtani.

Anyway, I think when people say Babe Ruth it's to bring a false prestige to the conversation. Ohtani is not like Babe Ruth. Nobody will be. But he is having a great season and doing incredible things on the field. His season should be talked about in those terms.

Nothing I said remotely suggests I think Ohtani is an all time great. It's a general point about bias against modern players which seemed to me to be informing some of the posts taking issue with the comparison of Ohtani's SEASON to Ruth's season.
