Babe 17ing Ruth---

roids vs hot dogs and booze . take you pick. wanna compare stats regarding the field? care to take a gander?

I looked up bWAR for each, and the stats agree with you that babe was much better than his peers. If I need a hit bottom of the 9th facing Mariano Rivera in his prime though, I want Barry bonds in his prime at the plate

no batter EVER came close to separating themselves from the rest of the field than Ruth. that is the ONLY way you compare yesterday's players to today's . Ruth will ALWAYS be the all time Sultan of SWAT. Hands Down.

I'll take the Babe. He also swung a 36 ounce bat. All while staying out all night womanizing, drinking, and eating hot dogs. And he hit .342 lifetime (I believe that is tied for 8th all-time).

Pitching was soo bad back then that no one has approached Cy Young or Walter Johnson's records. Not to mention all the crap you could load the ball up with. No doctored ball rules back then.

ETA: I've said since I was a youngster ... Babe is easily the best ball player of all-time.
