The racist part of your post aside

Let's not pretend that baseball requires some sort of special athletic ability

It was. Imagine how unathletic they were back then since the superior black athletes couldn't play! It was all white guys! Besides, that has nothing to do with Babe Ruth's inherent qualities as a baseball player anyways.

That isn't being debated here. The thread is about how Babe Ruth would fare in the modern game. Of course basic evolution of technology and science is going to favor current athletes going back in time. This is about a past athlete moving to the future and whether or not he could cut it in today's game. He would be good enough to still be a major league ball player IMO, albeit not a GOAT player that he was
