If an NFL lineman from the 60s stepped out of a time machine today, he'd have no chance simply because he'd be too small.
Baseball is different in that it is all skill, things that can be learned or adjusted to. If Ruth or Mays or another great stepped out of a time machine today, they'd be amazed at the depth of today's pitching, but would be fine after a period of adjustment.

sure baseball may be different in some regards, but training methods, weigh lifting, youth leagues, etc are far better now. Athletes, as a whole, are just a different specimen than they were in the 1920s

You put any great athlete in any era, and they would conform to the standards of the day and excel.
In other words, he had natural talent and if brought up today he would look much different but perform about the same.
