How would Ruth have handled the media pressure that Aaron had to undergo or Bonds has to undergo?

When Ruth played, sports reporters were much kinder to the players

What if he had reporters hounding him everyday about his womanizing, drinking, etc.?

while there s no doubt Ruth is one of the greats, I'd have to go with Willie Mays...he played in a less than hitter friendly ballpark

I really do wonder how the legends of yesteryear would have handled the media scrutiny that today's stars have to deal with.
