Wait what??? Gotta be a troll I get an argument regarding fitness today vs previous but if he played today he'd have today's fitness. Plus baseball is so much hand eye coordination which is purely natural skill that would translate regardless of era
Yea, no chance.

You think the guys was facing in 1920 were 1/100th as good as players today?

The better question is if you put the roid Era guys back in the 1920s with the old ways of training...instruction...nutrition etc...what numbers would they have put up? I doubt many would come close to the Babe.

I think Walter Johnson threw just as hard as Randy Johnson


That is a little unfair though as Walter Johnson is the most dominant player in his era of all time. Shouldn't be surprising that he could play in multiple eras
