No kidding, if the old-timers had modern technology, equipment, coaching, and training facilities most of them could compete. Remember in those days BB was the main sport, basketball wasn't invented yet and football was still new and considered too dangerous. Everyone played BB in those days so in a way those players were better than todays because there were no other sports to play. Blacks weren't allowed in the majors' wonder have many "Hall of Famers" never got a chance to play, damn shame.
