um, we do have ways to compare players across eras. you just can't use counting stats; you have to go deeper.
modern era players blow away "old school players." babe ruth didn't have to deal with LOOGYs, scouting reports, sliders, night games, etc. that is why bonds' accomplishments are ridiculous. and if you think steroids really had that much of an effect: stop letting the media tell you what to think. do some research.
edit: wow, some of those rankings are hilarious. honus wagner at 8? great player, but...no.
thats exactly what i said i assumed you understood when i said media pressure.
