Yeah, because Hall of Fame pitchers that Ruth played against: Walter Johnson, Lefty Grove, Tris Speaker, Stan Koveleski, and Grover Cleveland Alexander all bit the big one. Why do you even bother posting?Originally posted by: classy

Babe Ruth was the greatest player ever. Look up his pitching stats, HR/AB%, and lifetime BatAvg compared to Bonds. He makes Bonds look like a little leaguer statistically, especially if you take out Bond's roid years. Bonds could also never hold Teddy Ballgame's jockstrap, he was the best pure hitter ever.Originally posted by: Red Dawn
No argument from me. However a juiced up Bonds was better than any of those mentioned with the exception ot Williams who might have shattered the HR Mark if he hadn't of served twice in the Marines in time if war.Originally posted by: BigJ

I guess I'm ok with an Asterisk besides his name. We still know that Bonds is the best baseball player ever even if he was on the juice. LOL, if Ruth had been given the opportunity to use it I doubt he would have because it would have meant he'd have to get his fat ass in the gym for it to be useful for him.
Just arguing for arguments sake, I think Bond's is definitely up there amongst the greatest players of all time, and in this era probably in the Top 3 or 4. But I don't believe he is THE greatest without steriods.
Some people I would put above him without him using steroids:
Willie Mays
Ted Williams
Babe Ruth
Nolan Ryan
Joe DiMaggio
Mickey Mantle
Honus Wagner
Hank Aaron
Pete Rose
LOL
News flash, Babe Ruth did not play against the best players in baseball, talk about a fraud. Thats like saying George Mikan was the greatest center ever. Man please. Babe Ruth is so far behind Barry B, it aint even funny.
