A great player is a great player. It doesn't matter the era. Greats have instincts, and a meticulous attention to detail that will play in any era.

I agree. The game evolves but the best players evolve with the game. The players that suffer are those that benefit from their era - be it a different strike zone, steroids, higher mound, bigger parks, etc.
Nolan Ryan was a good pitcher in 1969 and he was still good in 1992.
Pete Rose was good in 1964 and still good in 1984.
Frank Robinson could hit in 1956 and still hit in 1975.
