You people are comparing apples to oranges. Both were great and there is no way to compare different players of different eras. You simply cannot compare Bonds to Ruth or Williams or Clemens to Young. Ruth was probably the best of his era, but so was Cobb of his arguably. I love all the history and think both are great. I also think neither could replicate those numbers today and possibly players of today can't replicate their successes back then. Who knows what pitching was like? I would say like anything else it progressively gets better. Maybe Ruth could only hit 20 HRs against pitching of today and Cobb .200. Who knows? The truth is that we will never know.
