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.


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

I just think we're underrating how different the game is today and how much better and more athletic players are today.

My disclaimer was that if you dropped him into today's game, meaning he didn't have a lifetime of training, nutrition, understanding today's game. He wouldn't have a chance, to be honest.
