Who was the better hitter, Babe Ruth or Ted Williams.

by the country's top Ruthian scholar, Bill Jenkinson.

This is not another Babe Ruth biography. Jenkinson's authoritative, illustrated analysis of Babe Ruth's batting prowess will end this debate once and for all, I assure you.

I once read a great quote about Ruth that went something like this:

You can't explain Babe Ruth. He's like da Vinci and Einstein. Freaks of nature. Just accept it and move on.

Best, Jimmy

but if we are gonna factor in Williams war years we should also factor in the deadball era years for The Babe. he played his first 6 seasons with every illegal ball available to pitch to him, with the umpire rarely changing the ball in a game (thus it getting way dirty and way harder to see), and he had to hit a deader ball then what Williams ever had to contend with. The case in point, BEFORE they undeaded the ball he topped the all tiem hr per season record by twice as much. The year they undeaded it he beat his own record by twice as much. And Williams coundlt pitch.
