For anyone who has read up on their baseball history, particularly articles written since the 1910's, you'll see that baseball is almost always on a decline. Some thought the 1910's were the peak of baseball and that Ruthian HRs destroyed that. Now, we think the 1920's era was a golden age and that home runs today are ridiculous.
I don't think there has ever been a time when people did not say baseball was worse off than before.
