Imagine Clayton Kershaw dealing at the height of the Steroid Era or Mike Trout lining up in center field for the New York Yankees during their post-war dynasty.
Thanks to the magic of the proprietary B/R baseball time machine, we have the good fortune of doing just that.
We'll set the time and we'll adjust the date, as we drop five of the game's current megastars into past eras that were perfectly suited for their respective skill sets. For each of those five, we'll compare them to one of the giants of that by-gone time.
We begin with a trip way back to the dawn on modern baseball when one of the best October aces—not just of today but in history—would have been right at home.
