Quote:
Neyers argument for Morgan over Collins and Hornsby is that the quality of play in Morgans era was better than Collins & Hornsbys era.

That figures. There's nothing like resorting to the subjective to make one's point. I'm sure Neyer is alluding to the fact that there were no blacks in baseball in Hornsby's day. Well hell, there are very few in baseball today!

I wonder if there is a way to come up with an equation for adjusting batting averages in Hornsby's day by including personal trainers, modern day medical technology, body armor, rules against hitting a batter and steroid pushers?

Neyer is just doing that ESPN thing by kissing Morgan's butt.
