It's impossible to compare players from different eras of MLB history. Despite being the same game there is so much that has changed there is no way statisticians can account for different quality of equipment (bats, balls, gloves), size of ballparks, lack of racial diversity, changes in rules for pitching, changes in use of pitchers, conditioning and training of athletes, scheduling and travel, medical advancements, etc. And any stats involving defense (other than fielding percentage) are completely useless prior to the 21st century. Players can only statistically be compared to their generational peers. Most everything else is merely personal opinion.
