I was 9 years old when Ruth died in the Summer of '48. From then till now, I have read many books and
articles on Ruth.....no hindsight here, I feel like I was there when he played, I've read that much.
He was an amazing man, bigger than life itself.

I am a lifelong Yankees fan.....so, I guess I'm partial to winners like Ruth, Anson, DiMag, Jackie Robinson,
Mantle.
You are a Mets fan....and, for whatever reasons you favor Cobb....and, that's fine with me.

I'm an Electronics Engineer....and, I appreciate numbers (Stats) and how they reflect the value of a BB
player to his team.
You're a Lawyer....and you appreciate "consensus".
