Lennon and the Beatles will be more well known IMO, but Ruth will not be completely forgotten. Baseball may be more important to us, but as a whole music is more important to the masses. Jackie Robinson will be a bigger name than Ruth because of his cultural impact on the United States. Music and Culture are taught in schools.....baseball is not.

I believe that baseball will still be around, but all of Ruth's records will have been smashed by then and he will become a footnote on the history of the game. Much like Cap Anson today....most people have heard the name, but very few know much about him.
