I agree to a point - that point stopping at "average-to-very good" players.
Given access to the same training and diet regimens that benefits current players, those who were/are truly great could play in any age.
Chamberlain would be an multi-year NBA all star today That he'd never score 100 in a game like he did back then isn't the point - it's that he'd still be a dominate force.
The Splendid Splinter would very likely be one of the top (probably
the top) hitter in baseball today.
Dick Butkus would still be, well, Dick Butkus.
And so on ...
