Babe Ruth by a MILE. What else would the Bambino have to do besides hitting .342 and 714 HR. Power and Frequency.

I think if he hit .342 with 500 HR we would still give him consideration as one of the best hitters ever, but he went beyond that. And as for playing in the Dead Ball era, he single handedly brought baseball out of the deadball era.

What if? I think I would give consideration to Ted Williams and Lou Gehrig if we add what if's into the discussion, but the Babe needs no what if's!
