I remember seeing a quote a while back by a former baseball player, and while I can’t recall who exactly he was and thus can’t give the necessary credit, he said that one of the toughest things to admit is that the players in today’s game may be as good as they’ve ever been.
This quote can and is valid for any period. I often like to say that is easy to overlook the present and be nostalgic to a fault when evaluating ballplayers from different eras. Because of that, I always like to nominate at least a player or two from the current generation in lists such as the Complementary Greats squad and the All-Supernova team.
