Babe Ruth played segregated baseball. He never faced the best. He played against a bunch of blacksmiths and plumbers. Overrated.

Kirk. Gibson in 88 25 HR 88 RBI but he was clutch

Just fyi, the home run record prior to Ruth was 128 which means every home run he hit after 1919 was pretty much a record on its own. He personally drug the home run record to 90% of what it is today. He managed 713 home runs. After him is Aaron and Bonds. But they are only a couple dozen past him meaning that what he carried the record to was an unbelievable total in comparisons with modern day

Second category makes me think of Ted Williams losing to DiMaggio in I think 48. Not talking the contentious 1941. There was another when Williams had double the WAR. Still those 2 were vastly bigger so it makes sense you mention them

How many games as a pitcher did Bonds win? How many more AB's does Bonds have over Ruth?

Bonds was going to be a hall of famer who would have had over 3000 hits and more than 600 home runs. He and Griffey Jr. were far and away the best players in baseball when they were playing. He would have been a first ballot hall of famer. But instead he juiced up. He cheated. MLB shames itself by including his records. As far as myself and many others are concerned, Hank Aaron has the all time home run record, Roger Maris still has the single season home run record, and Babe Ruth still has the single season slugging average record. Ruth is the best ever. Period.

Ruth played against plumbers and fast food workers. Never even played against black players he should never be considered the goat

Josh Gibson was the G.O.A.T

I can appreciate Ruth's contributions to baseball. However, he played in a segregated league.

It’s mind blowing how Albert Belle didn’t win a single MVP while he should of won multiple MVP’s. His attitude and personality had everything to do with that. He had so many GREAT seasons. (1995 especially). He prob had the best or one of the best 10 year stretches of all time

Sucks that helicopter got hurt in 2019. He was having an unbelievable season. That injury was also the start of a few year stretch of bad seasons

Dominant, depends, does steroids count to enhance dominance, this bullcrap question. To not recognize how steroids helped players then compare to players who didn't

Mahomes gon be the goat

Bonds was on steroids and babe Ruth was natural bonds is a cheater he can’t even be compared to babe Ruth or Willie Mays or Hank Aaron

Ruth was obviously a grreat player ...but i dont think hed go consistently deep against some of the modern day great pitchers .

Remember Babe Ruth was a pitcher too

It's Bonds for me pretty easily. There are just too many BIG caveats for Ruth. Not having to play against remotely a level playing field with no black, latin or international players. He was a full on professional baseball player but most of the league at the time was dudes that had to still work real jobs to make ends meat.

Ruth hit like bonds did in his juiced years his whole career. This isn't even a discussion. Ruth hit more home runs by himself than any other team combined did in 1921. That would be the same as bonds hitting 225 homers in 2001. Ruth also hit 343 lifetime and had less at bats. He wasted his early years pitching or he would still have the home run record.

New sub here. Babe is the goat!

I grew up watching Bonds and I think its impossible to capture the aura of Bonds ability. And I think a major difference is we romanticize what babe could do, by the time Bonds played it was a developed science, and for him to still set himself so far apart was a treat to watch.

If you are talking about dominance there is no comparison. Comparing players from such different eras is impossible. However, looking at how each player did against their peers of their respective time period is how you determine dominance. Ruth is hands down the most dominant baseball player ever! Ruth, Chamberlain and Gretzky are the three most dominant team sports athletes ever when comparing them to their peers!!

Babe Ruth was hitting homers against farmers and part-time auto mechanics. WHO is pitching counts you know.

Post season Babe Ruth .326/.470/.744 7 Championships Barry Bonds .245/.433/.503 0 Championships

Barry Bonds was a choker. Babe Ruth was a winner of World Series. Pittsburgh had good teams when Barry was on the team, but when Barry was in the pay off, he should have been benched. Barry did get the Giants into the World Series and lost in the 7th game.

There is no greater “Performance Enhancer” than ‘Not having to compete against Black guys’.

Funny seeing this video 7 months later, all the woke bullshit, Babe didn’t play against blacks or latinos , well guess what snowflakes, you drop him in the negro leagues and you think he’s going to go to shit Lol?! Other side of that coin drop Josh Gibson in the MLB and you think he’s going to shit Lol?! No ! Great is great no matter who they played with , a lot of the people who promote these stupid fucking takes have never played the game at a high level , and even if they didn’t don’t know the game if it bit them in their woke ass

PUT BARRY IN THE HALL OF FAME!!

They walked intentionally bonds with the bases loaded.

Mr. Barry Bonds was a killer. I’m a Reds fan. He destroyed us. He still had some years in him. American League as a DH. They black balled him? He was dominant

I love the babe but he didn’t play ALL the best players. So, you can put down Barry but he played against the TRUE best

Robin Yount declined the all-star game multiple times to go hunting with his friend

Babe hit against pitchers half his size and guys that had to work at food stores in the winter!Players didn’t make any money and during the depression was difficult for most players!Babe could afford groceries!

Todd Helton got absolutely robbed in 2000

While Barry bonds was one of the best players of all time, his legacy will forever be tainted by the allegations of ped use. Because Ruth won multiple world series and was a multi talented player, he will always be arguably the best player ever!!!

Bonds the goat and its not close

Ruth was larger than life. It's almost like he was a cartoon character. As far as Dominance.....no one can match The Babe.

Sam Crawford won the award over Ted Williams despite Ted having beat him in every hitting category Except strikeout. Ted should have won 5 awards and wss cheated out of 3. Look it. Honorable mention: Phil Rizootto won as only a singles hitter.

If you factored Aaron's at bats to Ruth's at bats, Ruth would have hit WELL OVER a thousand Hrs. How do you like them apples!

The Babe was all natural Bonds a pumped up juicer🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

Technically Kirk Gibson was an all star but he declined

Imagine saying a guy is the best not playing vs entire races that are historically the best in the sport. Foh! The few that he did don't count btw

how do you only got 1k subs💀you deserve atleast 100k

Never understood why fans vote for all stars. You can't expect millions of people to be objective on a non serious issue.

Another W vid, and congrats on 1K man.

Man, fan voting can be a problem when it comes to All-Star selections

Great video, Tapir. I wouldn’t say that the NL had a clear offensive MVP in ‘88. I respectfully believe that LA’s Orel Hershiser should have taken that year’s MVP in addition to his Cy Young. Also, I agree, many of Sister Sledge’s hits are overlooked! Haha

Who cares, in 5 years it’ll be Ohtani and this discussion will be moot.

Has to be Justin Morneau. Stole that from DJ

Babe Ruth only played against white players east of the Mississippi River.
