If it is the overall game that you are worried about then why did you only post offensive numbers ONLY? You should have put their fielding stats there for comparison as well.


I still don't understand people who say it is an obvious choice. How can one of the strike out leaders of the pre war era be considered the best player of the pre war era? Even Cobb never struck out more than 55 times in a season, Ruth struck out less than 55 only 5 seasons and 3 of those where when he was a pitcher with Boston. I don't have a gripe if people vote for Ruth, just when they say it is an obvious choice.
