I’m not going to state who I think was the greatest bb player of all time, but all the young fans today should be aware that nobody has ever hit baseballs as far as Ruth hit them. A writer named Bill Jenkinson documented Ruth’s clouts for 1921 in a book called “The Year Ruth Hit 104 Homeruns.”

That's why Ruth IS the greatest. It's fun to compare people from different eras and how they would do if placed at a different time, but we can't do that. All we can do is look at how someone performed in their own era.

By any measure, Ruth was literally levels above anyone else.
