Ted, a baseball player is not measured solely by numbers. If that were the case, the sportswriters and baseball players of the eras of Ruth and Cobb would have easily voted Ruth the better player. They didn't -- in fact, while they unanimously liked Ruth more, they voted Cobb the better player. I trust their first-hand and more educated opinions more than I trust either yours or mine on this subject. Therefore, I'm stuck agreeing with the experts instead of novices like you and me -- so I have to stick with Cobb on this one.
