	The myth of the missing great black athlete in baseball - Baseball Fever
		If the 1960s-70s baseball was of a "higher quality" than today can you show convincing evidence that the 1960s-70s teams would be able to defeat modern teams on a consistent basis.
		Your basic premise, that potentially great fl baseball players have not been lost to other sports in the last 30 years, is not supported by the evidence.
		No, my presmise is although baseball may have lost some "great athletes" to other sports this does not lower the quality of play because other great athletes from other nations have picked up the slack.
