Thanx for saying this Daniel, this is exactly the argument I
presented on my 2nd post on this thread.
But, I'll even "one up you" on this by adding Ruth's Doubles
and Triples, to bring Ruth's total hits (excluding HRs) to 2100.
And, who knows how many more hits Ruth would've had if he
had not Walked 2056 times ?
Your observation on his ability to hit to all fields is very
factual. Also, keep in mind the fact that the fences in the
American League parks were somewhat farther out than the
Nat. Lge. parks in those days; therefore, consider how much
greater Ruth's "numbers" might have been if he played in the
other league.
