I think one thing that would level the playing field for the pre-war players would be modern medicine. How many of them did not/could not put up better stats because they had injuries they had to play through (pulls, strains, dead arms etc)? Today, they could have surgery and rehab and comeback better than before. If you have talent and smarts, you'll always find a way to adapt as the game changes and progresses. Also, better equipment today would make a lot of the pre-war players that much better.
