Other than the subtle shot at Ruth for only winning 1 MVP*, I don't have much fault with the article. I don't necessarily agree with Justice's conclusion but he's not wrong about the differences in competition**.

* - Since they were only allowed to win 1 back then

** - Ohtani isn't facing Mariano River or Randy Johnson either.

Agreed the article has some valid points but the bottom line is
Ruth is great and is an icon
Ohtani is have a great year. And lets see what he can do with his career

Lets enjoy the Past, present , and future

I agree. Ohtani is 26 and hasn't played a truly full season in the majors yet and only parts of 3 others besides this one. We're basically comparing Ohtani to full-career Ruth when we should be comparing him to Ruth up through 1917 or 1918.

In terms of how they were used 1919 is the closest match to 2021.

Once agan I was never comparing Ohtani’s career to Babe’s career.

I’m not that dumb.

I have been following Ohtani pretty closely all year. He is an unbelievable talent. I am fascinated at his ability to Pitch so well and Hit so good. It will take a long time for him to be Babe Ruth, who is the best player of all time. Not sure in this day and age a player can do it. He has brought excitement back to me in baseball. I wish him the best.
