I don't see why anyone would suggest Ruth wouldn't be Ruth in any era. He hit home runs, yeah, but he was also a career 342 hitter. That doesn't happen by accident. He would probably hit over 1,000 home runs if he were playing today in modern stadiums. There's nothing to suggest Ruth couldn't hit a fastball so I don't think an occasional 100 MPH is going to stymie a guy who hit 342 on average.
