It has to be Ruth; just open up the Baseball Almanac. Legue leading stats are printed in bold type. Ruth's stats show a sea of bold print. The fact that I like the most is that after nearly a decade of being off the mound Ruth pitched and won in 1930 and again in 1933.

For the Ross Youngs bashers; the guy started playing early and died young. He could have easily played another 5+ years. A fierce hitter and a menace on the basepath, not to mention his tremendous stats in the field.

I was unaware of Ross Youngs' stats until someone just recently pointed them out.
