Value as a human being has nothing to do with value as a baseball player.

There's have been almost as good hitters since then with the same size. Ortiz, Thomas etc were units and could smash the ball 400 yards on any given night

It was a different time. He had the mass to put a lot of power into his swing, and enough hand eye coordination to make contact on a consistent basis.

Don't pitchers throw a lot harder now then they did a 100 years ago? More muscles, steroids, etc? Not to mention there is all the different types of pitches now which I don't think they all existed back then.

His body was different, he had an unusual amount of flexibility which let him grip and swing the bat with maximum power.

Definitely, Id bet the healthiest most athletic major leaguer in The Babes day would be considered an out of shape slob by todays professional standards.

Athletes and players weren't as good back then as they are today.

Sports have evolved. And that goes for all of then.

Ruth was great for his time. But if he played today he would not have the same legend.

he had a large, muscled physique and was in decent shape for most of his career. he did become a fatass late in his career when photography became more widespread.

Here's him when young

he was just in a class of his own at the time. maybe these days he'd just be an average player, but back then no one matched up to his standards

the bar he set both motivated and forced players to get better. it was great for the sport.
