I've always heard Ruth was about 6'1 or 6'2 and around 215-220ish during his peak physically. I'm not sure how he would hold up against some of the freak athletes nowadays. I know he struggled w/ eating, drinking, and smoking. Over time, I am not sure he would be able to consistently produce great numbers w/ the type of athlete today.

ETA: Willie Mays would be my choice

This does not change the fact that he ran train on the rest of the league. Look up his stats for real. It was a fricking joke how good he was.
