Is the parity among baseball teams the same today as it was when the Babe played?

My point is you may be right in saying things were/are different between the 2 streaks, but almost all of the same arguments can be used when comparing stats in any sport. Did Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth all play against comparable competition? Were the equipment and fields exactly the same? Were the pitchers each faced of equal caliber? If not, then how can you say they all belong on the same career home run list, because there were different circumstances involving each player. (And I'm not even bringing steriods into the discussion.)

It's still a college basketball win streak. How each of us qualifies it after that is where we take turns hitting that poor horse...
