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.


BUT.. Look it up. He was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Much better than everyone else when he played its not even close. NO athlete can say this[Maybe Wayne]

Touche. But when I usually think of G.O.A.T., I like to imagine how he/she would have faired against athletes at any time during their respective sport's history.

Wilt Chamberlain. The gap between him and everyone else during his time is easily one of the biggest in sports history.

But he's not the GOAT
