It is absurd to say that Babe Ruth would just be a flyout hitter in the Deadball era. Ruth hit 1,517 singles in his career and he hit to all fields. Even Ty Cobb praised Ruth in his autobiography for being able to hit the ball to all fields. I'll take Cobb's word for it over Bryan's or any other of Ruth's detractors in this thread.
