Today many of the best athletes play football and basketball. In the pre-war era baseball was the main sport. Sure training and nutrition is better today, but the old time players would also be eating better and training better too. Additionally, the old time players were better versed in the game's fundamentals. My guess is that the stars of yesterday would also be stars of today. Ruth, especially if he still played at Yankee Stadium, would be a home run leader. Ty Cobb would be a league leader in hitting. The great pitchers would probably be as great as ever, especially with the increased rest and care for thier arms. In fact, the average players of the past might be stars today.
