Would Babe Ruth dominate baseball today?

I doubt it. He'd be about 130 years old...

That Ruth (especially) and Maris (a bit less) took advantage of worse pitching and smaller fields than today's hitters.

Keep in mind, every sport progresses, and every sport now is filled with players that are bigger, faster, stronger and more skilled than players of yore. That's why you don't compare Bonds and Ruth, you compare Ruth and Foxx, and Bonds and Pujols (as examples)

This. My uncle, who was in bb for about 50 years, a lot of it scouting, always emphasized that the modern ball players are just better. Said he’d see more great plays in a week than he might have seen in a season in earlier times
