Great idea for a segment
In an era where history is forgotten, or hidden, this shows how great baseball players used to be

Babe Ruth would be on the bench today. And Lamar Jackson is better than Johnny Unitas ever was...that’s just how things go.

I think both Robinson and Ruth would absolutely dominate. Baseball is different than many other sports in that the fundamental skill is arm-flinging speed (for both hitting and batting), that is, the same athletic ability that makes a boxer a hard punching knock-out artist. And as the documentary "Fastball" demonstrated, there's been very little change (if any) in this ability over time. If you calculated fastball speed the same way (front of the plate, sophisticated radar), Nolan Ryan and Bob Feller are both clocked at > 107 mph. Other important abilities: hand-eye coordination, eyesight (for hitters), speed, and strength (for hitters, tho not quite as much as people think: see Ken Griff Jr and that Ruth has the longest measured HR in history--also see Ted Will and Mantle). The first two abilities (coordination and eyesight) are essentially unchanged. When it comes to speed (which has improved over the years), Jackie was likely all-world. I mean, his brother got silver (to Jesse Owens) in both the 100 and 200 at the olympics.
