"Conversely, according to some, Babe Ruth routinely hits 65-85 HRs a season in DMB using their All-Time Greatest Players set (using a peak stretch of 10 seasons for Ruth: 1919-1928) against some all-time great pitchers in that set. I think this is primarily due to Ruth being an outlier for many seasons before the league caught up to him. Honestly, I would rather have Ruth consistently hit 75 HRs a season than 40 HRs, but my belief is somewhere in the high 40s through 50s is more palatable."

What that actually shows is the game is messed up. Make a league of the best of the best and everyone on average should underperform real life.
