Maybe you would add some other players to the debate, guys like Ted Williams, A-Rod or someone else. But for argument sake, I am limiting this discussion to four great players: Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays and Barry Bonds.
And, for the time being, we are going to judge Bonds’ career without prejudice, meaning no ‘roids will factor into the debate. Based on subjective and objective reasons, I say that Babe Ruth was far and away the best baseball player of all-time, hands down. No one is even close. That’s right, and here are my reasons.
First of all, many times you hear the foolish argument that Babe Ruth played in a different time, a time when there weren’t black ballplayers, so his accomplishments were watered down and shouldn’t mean as much. Well, you know what? That is insulting to white people everywhere.
