So what are you trying to say Bryan? You called Ruth a one trick pony and it has been demonstrated to you that he was not a one trick pony. He could hit for power, he could hit to all fields and he wasn't a poor fielder relative to the league, and if you'll look at his statistics he hit 29 homeruns in 1919 his first full year playing everyday and that was before the new rules concerning how a baseball was used in the game.

Also one trick ponies don't normally win 94 games with a 2.24 ERA as a pitcher and hit 714 homeruns and hit .342 as a hitter.

The verdict is in on Ruth. I'm not sure what you want us to "think outside of the box" about?
