Bob, get real. We all know Ruth wasn't playing the OF full time and given the era, the HR totals aren't out of line. At least try to be a bit more creative and realistic in your comparisons. As full time Of, Ruth had sustained greatness. Even as a pitcher he had sustained greatness. This is why he is considered the greatest player ever.

Mattingly certainly had a great run. I am truly surprised by the apathy shown towards his HOF candidacy given all the hype he got as a player. I fully expected him to get elected just because he was a Yankee. Glad to see the voters wising up a bit.
