So much has changed since those days. The number of games played, people have gotten bigger, faster and stronger, lots more than that has changed. Players these days just aren’t the same as back then

Lifetime St. Louis fan here and I can tell you that I can't say for sure he didn't do steroids but I HIGHLY doubt it. If you look at his overall body type over the years it hasn't changed. Usually with heavy users (think Barry Bonds) or even guys who hit the occasional cycle they change big time. Now I do think he lied about his age, he's at least 5 years older than what he claims to be. Old teammates were probably just haters, jealousy is a m'fer.
Babe Ruth still has the best OPS all time and 2nd best WAR of all time.

Before our time but if you're a stats guy Roger Hornsby and Eddie Collins have some amazing stats and WAR. Both are in the HOF as 2nd baseman. All of the expert MLB guys rank them ahead of Morgan as well.
Morgan doesn't make the top 50 regardless of how you rank them. Rose is somewhere around 40-50. Morgan was a great player but if you add in pitchers to your all time greats, he is on the outside looking in.
