Cobb vs. Ruth
Posted By: jay behrens
The thing that most people forget about supposed dilution of talent is that the population of the US was about 100-120 million in the deadball era and this including blacks and other minorities, so the actual talent pool was much smaller. Maybe 80-90 million. Now move forward to today. The US population is 275 million or more, plus you have all the Latin American countries, South America, Australia and much of the Far East. So you are looking at a talent pool of something close to 1.5 BILLION people. Even with more sporting options, you have a larger pool of talent to work with than you did in the Deadball Era.
