If you literally dropped a prime Babe Ruth into today's era, I don't even think he'd be an MLB worthy player.

And I think Ruth is the GOAT, fwiw.

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

Is there any doubt that babe would have been doing Lyle alzedo amounts of roids?

Whoa lets pump the brakes here . I get the spirit of what you're saying, and he wouldn't be the Babe Ruth we know, at least at first. However he also isn't going to be worse than Colby Rasmus either

They had some all-stars try to take batting practice with an actual Babe Ruth bat and they could barely get their swing around to hit the ball...the bat was so heavy.

So unless you can prove that Walter Johnson and the like were throwing so much slower back then, your assertion isn't really based on anything but assumption of time.
