Rhys... well said
"To me the better argument would be can any of today's players make the transition back 100 years ago and be any good. That would be a much tougher task than the players of yesterday suddenly being given better equipment/facilities/salary/lifestyle and asking them to perform!" - Rhys
Specifically, how would today's player handle the use of the tiny gloves that were standard in the Deadball Era or the pancake mitts of the twenties and thirties. (Few one-handed catches, I'll bet.) The tools of the trade, general playing conditions (St. Louis in summer, unpadded walls, etc.), travel conditions (train), the pay and the Deadball game itself make things somewhat tougher for today's major leaguer to swallow. Give the oldtimers their youth and talent and they would compete favorably in nearly every case.
