That doesn\'t prove anything at all.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nAs I said, I haven\'t seen any unbiased studies proving that the Negro Leagues were <i>equal</i> to the major leagues. But it\'s clear that they were at least high minor league quality. Roy Campanella, Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, Luke Easter, Monte Irvin, Larry Doby, Satchell Paige, and others all played in the Negro Leagues at the same time as Gibson. <br />\r\n<br />\r\nGibson led his league in home runs 11 times, and for his career had an OPS+ of 215. Bill James in his 1985 abstract estimates that a player moving from AAA to the majors would retain about 82% of their offensive production. I think the true number for the Negro Leagues would be between 82% and 100%. 90% seems reasonable to me. That would result in a career OPS+ of 194, four points higher than Ruth. <br />\r\n<br />\r\nPart of this is just me being contrarian. I\'m not certain of how good the Negro Leagues were, just having fun arguing.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		<!-' + '- sig -' + '->\r\n			<div>\r\n				__________________<br />\r\n				I blog at <a href="https://adventuresofabaseballcardcollector.blogspot.com" target="_blank">https://adventuresofabaseballcardcollector.blogspot.com</a> and <a href="https://universalbaseballhistory.blogspot.com" target="_blank">https://universalbaseballhistory.blogspot.com</a>\r\n			</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / sig -' + '->\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=2147021" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 2147021 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_2147021_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">John1941</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=714233">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=714233" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to John1941</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=714233" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by John1941</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 2147021 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #2147021 -' + '->';

Comparing guys from the 1800s, when they pitched from 45 or 50 feet away and players didnt wear gloves, to guys playing today, just seems unreasonable. Its like asking which mode of transportation is better, the wagon or a Porsche. When it was either take a horse/wagon or walk, the wagon seems like the best idea ever. But now, if I offered you either a wagon or a Porsche, you\'d probably take the Porsche, if time was any kind of consideration.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe game of baseball was completely different in 1905 than what it is today. Mostly because humans are different and they have evolved, alongside technology. Babe Ruth is amazing, but did he ever actually face any lefthanded pitcher who threw what is accepted today as a slider? He wasn\'t facing lefties throwing 96-98 consistently with 88-91 mph sliders. <br />\r\n<br />\r\nEquipment was different, the game was played differently, and players were not built like they are today. Matty was 6\'1/195, WaJo was 6\'1/200, they were two of the most dominant pitchers of their era, and by today\'s standards, they\'d be undersized righties. <br />\r\n<br />\r\nI understand that there are statistics like ERA+ and OPS+ that adjust for era, but I don\'t think they can truly adjust and allow for direct 1 to 1 comparisons. The mound was different, park dimensions were a lot different, and the players themselves were a lot different. I mean, there were no night games until 1935. I think its easy to compare WaJo and Matty and Plank and Cy Young to each other, or Wagner to Eddie Collins. I think its a lot harder, and pretty pointless, to compare Mike Trout to Ty Cobb. <br />\r\n<br />\r\nDifferent games, different eras.

Comparing guys from the 1800s, when they pitched from 45 or 50 feet away and players didnt wear gloves, to guys playing today, just seems unreasonable. Its like asking which mode of transportation is better, the wagon or a Porsche. When it was either take a horse/wagon or walk, the wagon seems like the best idea ever. But now, if I offered you either a wagon or a Porsche, you\'d probably take the Porsche, if time was any kind of consideration.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe game of baseball was completely different in 1905 than what it is today. Mostly because humans are different and they have evolved, alongside technology. Babe Ruth is amazing, but did he ever actually face any lefthanded pitcher who threw what is accepted today as a slider? He wasn\'t facing lefties throwing 96-98 consistently with 88-91 mph sliders. <br />\r\n<br />\r\nEquipment was different, the game was played differently, and players were not built like they are today. Matty was 6\'1/195, WaJo was 6\'1/200, they were two of the most dominant pitchers of their era, and by today\'s standards, they\'d be undersized righties. <br />\r\n<br />\r\nI understand that there are statistics like ERA+ and OPS+ that adjust for era, but I don\'t think they can truly adjust and allow for direct 1 to 1 comparisons. The mound was different, park dimensions were a lot different, and the players themselves were a lot different. I mean, there were no night games until 1935. I think its easy to compare WaJo and Matty and Plank and Cy Young to each other, or Wagner to Eddie Collins. I think its a lot harder, and pretty pointless, to compare Mike Trout to Ty Cobb. <br />\r\n<br />\r\nDifferent games, different eras.

This is what makes it fun.  In this case, particularly the definition of "greatest."<br />\r\n<br />\r\nMy vote went to Ruth.  I\'ve read some good arguments for Wagner and Cobb but, in the end, to my mind they don\'t overshadow the case for Ruth.  Maybe it\'s just how I think about greatness....<br />\r\n<br />\r\nSadly, we will never really know about the Negro League players.  I\'m not an expert, but I suspect that Oscar Charleston and Josh Gibson (and Martin Dihigo) would have excelled in the majors, not just survived there but been star players.  There\'s really no way to know if either of them could have matched the babe, but since (to my mind) no one else in that era did, I think the inconclusive result should go in Ruth\'s favor.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nAlso, for what it\'s worth, with respect to NL players vs Satchel Paige for a few at bats, etc., I don\'t think we can draw much in the way of useful conclusions.  There just isn\'t enough data.

That doesn\'t prove anything at all.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nAs I said, I haven\'t seen any unbiased studies proving that the Negro Leagues were <i>equal</i> to the major leagues. But it\'s clear that they were at least high minor league quality. Roy Campanella, Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, Luke Easter, Monte Irvin, Larry Doby, Satchell Paige, and others all played in the Negro Leagues at the same time as Gibson. <br />\r\n<br />\r\nGibson led his league in home runs 11 times, and for his career had an OPS+ of 215. Bill James in his 1985 abstract estimates that a player moving from AAA to the majors would retain about 82% of their offensive production. I think the true number for the Negro Leagues would be between 82% and 100%. 90% seems reasonable to me. That would result in a career OPS+ of 194, four points higher than Ruth. <br />\r\n<br />\r\nPart of this is just me being contrarian. I\'m not certain of how good the Negro Leagues were, just having fun arguing.</div>\r\n			\r\n		</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>What were Josh Gibson\'s career stats vs. Satchel Paige? Paige was a major league talent. The best I could find he hit  .000 against him. People like to throw out that prewar MLB stars weren\'t that great because they didn\'t play against Negro League stars. If those stars couldn\'t hit Paige, how would they have done against Walter Johnson, Lefty Grove, ect? <br />\r\n<br />\r\nI disagree with your assertions about the Negro Leagues. Only 8% of MLB today is African Americans. In 1960 when every team was integrated it was only 9%. Even a decade later it was less than 15%. It peaked at 18.7% in 1981. If the Negro Leagues were at the same level as MLB, that number would have approached 50%. Especially after expansion in 1961-62 and 1969. I believe the level of play was far below that of MLB and even AAA. The top level of players were of MLB quality but the vast majority were not.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=2147274" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 2147274 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_2147274_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">rats60</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=577439">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=577439" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to rats60</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=577439" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by rats60</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 2147274 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #2147274 -' + '->';

Over the years, I\'ve found the primary reasons some people disagree with this is:<ul><li>They don\'t like his homerun, power hitting style of play. Furthermore, all the photos they see of him is when he\'s old and out of shape and they discount him because "no way some old fat guy can be the greatest player ever."</li>\n<li>They claim he wasn\'t an all-around player. Well, call me crazy, but I never saw Willie Mays go 94-46 as a pitcher.</li>\n<li>Because he is always assumed to be the best player ever by the majority of credible baseball analysts and historians today, people pick someone else to be a contrarian and/or unique. Rather than just mindlessly following the pack, they bring up some other player who had a great career. Issue is, these careers simply don\'t compare to Ruth\'s.</li>\n<li>They make some excuse for some older player about them not playing in the live ball era. </li>\n</ul><br />\nAs far as the best pitcher ever, I personally go with Cy Young.

Over the years, I\'ve found the primary reasons some people disagree with this is:<ul><li>They don\'t like his homerun, power hitting style of play. Furthermore, all the photos they see of him is when he\'s old and out of shape and they discount him because "no way some old fat guy can be the greatest player ever."</li>\n<li>Because he is always assumed to be the best player ever by the majority of credible baseball analysts and historians today, people pick someone else to be a contrarian and/or unique. Rather than just mindlessly following the pack, they bring up some other player who had a great career. Issue is, these careers simply don\'t compare to Ruth\'s.</li>\n<li>They make some excuse for some older player about them not playing in the live ball era. </li>\n</ul><br />\r\nAs far as the best pitcher ever, I personally go with Cy Young. People seem to discount him for some reason, but when you look at his numbers, they\'re just incredible.

Babe Ruth should be taken off this list. His numbers with Boston as a hitter during the Dead Ball era weren\'t even close to Cobb\'s during the years the Dead Ball was being used. <br />\n<br />\nIn the Dead ball era the best Home run hitters would have only 12-14 homers per year. From 1900 to 1920 there were 13 home run champs that had fewer than 10 home runs in a season.<br />\n<br />\nDuring the years that Ty Cobb played during the Dead Ball era he led the lead in hitting 12 out of 15 years.

This was right after Ruth\'s career and since everyone hated Cobb (according to current belief, though he helped a lot of players with fiancial problems). The top 3 vote getters from the 226 writers were : 1) Cobb 222, 2) Ruth 215 and 3) Wagner 215. These voters were from the same era. Hard to believe with Cobb\'s reputation, he still received the most votes. He must have been "one hell of a player ".

I didn\'t see them play. I did read Mr Ritter\'s book, <u>The Glory Of Their Times</u>, listened to the album, and have repeatedly listened to the CD\'s that have more material. I\'ve read old, contemporary articles in old Baseball Magazines. Again and again, from the minds of the people that played with Ruth, Cobb, Young, Mathewson, Johnson, Jackson, Lajoie, and the rest, the player that rises to the top is Honus Wagner. Branch Rickey knew a right smart about baseball, he says Wagner. Sam Crawford played beside Cobb and he says it was Wagner. I\'m inclined to believe the many who were there and oughta know.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nAaron was a great player, but he didn\'t have much of an impact on baseball in the Pre War era.

This was right after Ruth\'s career and since everyone hated Cobb (according to current belief, though he helped a lot of players with fiancial problems). The top 3 vote getters from the 226 writers were : 1) Cobb 222, 2) Ruth 215 and 3) Wagner 215. These voters were from the same era.

This was right after Ruth\'s career and since everyone hated Cobb (according to current belief, though he helped a lot of players with fiancial problems). The top 3 vote getters from the 226 writers were : 1) Cobb 222, 2) Ruth 215 and 3) Wagner 215. These voters were from the same era. Hard to believe with Cobb\'s reputation, he still received the most votes. He must have been "one hell of a player ". He gets my vote.</div>\r\n			\r\n		</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>Can\'t argue with this logic except to say the BBWAA gets the easy picks and leaves the tougher ones for other committees. Consequently, I don\'t put great stock in that esteemed body. Still, Cobb was <i>detested</i> by many and still earned first place on the initial ballot. (I wonder if he would even get 75% from today\'s BBWAA?)<br />\r\n<br />\r\nMy vote went to Babe Ruth.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=1120504" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 1120504 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_1120504_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">SteveMitchell</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=442">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=442" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to SteveMitchell</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=442" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by SteveMitchell</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 1120504 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #1120504 -' + '->';
