No there's no doubt unless you're still lying to yourself about a guy who played before the bombs dropped in Hiroshima.

I don't know about all time, but he's the best ball player I've ever watched play the game in my lifetime.

He has and thinks it's Ruth. That's as far as he gets in the conversation.

I would have to give that to Ty but regarding the OP cross generational, especially with nearly 100 years in between, comparisons are basically useless and more emotion than objectivism. You can see this easily by looking at how many individual records are dominated by players from 80-130 years ago.

He will be in the discussion at the end of his career, no question about it.

Did Ruth really play against plumbers, drywall fitters, mechanics, etc and baseball was their second job??

Ohtani must be reading MSB in the dugout. He just hit another HR

You’re right, 40/40 never been done before

I’d bet on it

See if Jerrylawler agrees with who’s the best
