Ruth might have had 1000 HR's if he didn't WALK 2000+ times (Major League record). The opposing pitchers (understandably)
did not want to pitch to him.
Initially, Cobb might have had a problem with 95-99 MPH fast balls, since he swung the bat with fists apart. But,what I have
read about him, he would have adjusted his swing and sliced those pitches to Left Field for hits.
