I think the 2015 Toledo Mud Hens would easily beat the 27 Yankees in a 7 game series. Athletes today are superior than the athletes of yesteryear. The number of 100mph pitchers is evidence to this.
Which is why I rely on stats like WAR, OPS+, and ERA+ because they take into account era and competition level.
