For those that like WAR
Gehrig 114.1 in 17 seasons with only 14 full seasons Those 14 full seasons Gehrig had 113.8 WAR or 8.12 WAR per season.

Foxx 93.9 in 20 seasons. Foxx's best 14 seasons averaged 6.7 WAR.

Gehrig was also a monster in the postseason with 6 WS wins in 7 tries hitting . 361/.483/.731.

It really isn't close. Collectors want to collect the best. For prewar it is Wagner, Cobb, Ruth and Gehrig. Tier 2 players are going to trail behind badly.

Foxx fell off HARD after a few years in Boston, but even at his best offensively, Gehrig was still better. Foxx Just hit more home runs. Foxx had some killer seasons though with both the A's and the Sox.
