While you can't compare players between eras, you CAN compare playoff performance. Because they are either better/equal in the playoffs or they are markedly worse. Gehrig was markedly better in the playoffs; ARod is markedly worse in the playoffs.

Gehrig was great. ARod was great. As to who was the better player, it's really tough to say due to the vast difference of eras. I could make arguments for either of them quite easily.
