I would say clearly Ruth was the better hitter, as Ruth was the best ever hitter. His power numbers are great by today's steroids standards and in 1919 the home run record was 27, a record that had stood since 1884. Ruth was the first player to hit 30, 40, 50 and 60 home runs. That it took steroids and a medically lengthened career for Barry Bonds to break Ruth's records is a testament to how great Ruth was.
