This is always a hot debate, got to thinking of this seeing the Yogi Berra thread, take him, Babe Ruth, Bobby Orr, Terry Bradshaw, any of those guys from decades ago, the stars and put them into today's pro sports.
Would they be just as successful?
I say no way in hell, most of them wouldn't make today's pro teams. Different games, different players.
Babe Ruth couldn't make the MLB minors.
I'm braced for the ensuing hate, BTW.
