He played close to a century ago. The people who consider Barry Bonds or any other major leaguer the greatest player that ever lived do so because they're completely unaware of the fact that Babe Ruth, on top of being the most prolific hitter of (at the very least) the first half of the 20th century, he was also an elite pitcher during the early part of his career. He was a 20+ game winner twice while w/ the Red Sox. He had a career era of 2.28. He once started 41 games in a season w/o giving up A SINGLE HOME RUN. People disregard all that shit.
