I think some of the dead ball era players could play today and be great. Y ou have to remember the balls they played with where almost black in color and if you could hit .400 against that then you should be able to hit a brite white ball.The thing is they didnt have radar guns for the speed these players thrown so we dont know how fast walter johnson ot matty could throw so its like comparing apples to oranges.Another thing is they didnt swing for the fences in those days they wanted to get on base and they played small ball and it wasnt about themm selves it was about the team and they didnt make crap either and it was for the love of baseball not the money. we just dont know thats it point blank.
