Great card, and one of the one's I am still hunting for in "7" or better. That was the year Ted, turning 39 that August, hit .388 (just six hits shy of .400) with 38 HR's! The greatest hitter of all time, based on what I personally believe is the best yardstick, Bill James' runs created compared to league average runs created (per 27 outs) of that time. Ted was at 250% of league average for his ENTIRE CAREER, while Gehrig (who was over 210% career-wise, as I recall), in his best year, 1927, only got to 249%. The Babe, who created more total runs than Ted because the conditions of his era were more conducive to run production, was at 240%.
