He also played on fields much larger and in seasons with less games. Everything evens out. And for the people who say he would suck today, he wouldn’t if he was born in 2000 like the rest of the great young players.

he hit a lot more 450 outs and 480 foot doubles than he did bouncing home runs also a rule from then that changed around the same didn't allow walk off home runs IF the winning run scored before you so if you were down 1 with runners on 1st and 2nd and hit a home run the game was ruled officially over when the guy on 1st touched home plate and you were credited with a triple

Also before 1920 a walkoff home run counted as a single double or triple if homer wasn’t the winning run As soon as winning run scored game was over

Realistically, how many times did that happen? With how rare it happens now? With dead balls?

I’d imagine it’s not that much easier to get a bouncing home run with those heavy balls no?

Babe hit actual home runs, dude. He also played in parks with fences that were 30-50ft deeper than most fields today.

Also, Ruth had one hit over the fence but the winning run was over the fence and according to the rules the game ended as soon as the winning run crossed the plate, so he only got credit for a triple
