Hank Aaron is an alltime great and a personal favorite of mine but comparing him to Babe Ruth just isn't fair. Ruth is the greatest baseball player who ever lived. He was a god among insects, playing MLB like little league, pitching and hitting at the very top tier of the game. No one else has done that. I doubt anyone will ever do it again. With all due respect to Mays, Aaron, Clemente, Williams, Cobb--all ATGs--when they can pitch at HOF caliber, then they can be mentioned in the same sentence as Ruth. Until then the call isn't even close.
