Sounds like you're saying that part of my post was racist, not that it was a racial element.

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.

So if I dropped Clayton Kershaw into 1920, you don't think he'd put up the best numbers anyone in those days has ever seen? Same with Griffey Jr? Really?

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
