Babe Ruth is the best baseball players of all time, but "best HR hitter" doesn't equal best all all time.
& Walter was amazing, but it was just him (with some others, take some sarcasm). but if you're trying to make the argument pitching back then was more dominant then opposed to all the of HOFer's that Aaron & Bonds faced i won't even bother responding.

The stats are hard to find but by checking the HR logs of both Aaron and Ruth; Babe Ruth's top 20 pitchers he hit HRs off of consist of 4 hall of famers. Aaron's list has 5 hall of famers. What's your point?

1. i have no real point, you brought this Babe Ruth factor into a Patriots gamethread & i just don't personally agree he is the greatest homerun hitter of all time.
2. as far this side argument goes, Hack was posting stats of greatest peaks & Mcguire have like 66 per & Ruth was at 53 per.
also, i remember hearing Bonds was averaging a homerun per 8-9 at bats; i don't know if Ruth had numbers like that in any season, but regardless he has more in a regular season & in a career.
OG Hack Wilson:
who lead the league in home runs more than the Babe?
Babe Ruth hit a record 29 homeruns in the DEAD BALL ERA - if you hit 15 back then you were a "slugger"

lol, the competiton today is so much better than it was in the 1920's, it's barely comparable.
how many players back then even hit more than 35 homeruns in a season?
he had nobody pitching to him & the "somebodies" who were pitching to him were throwing 18 straight innings in back to back double headers lol.

So all the batters were so bad in the 20s that of all the 18 straight inning pitchers only the Babe could hit the ball long? Give me a break. You're the one who likes facts. Here's a fact for you. Bonds hit an HR ver 13 at bats. Babe hit 1 every 12 at bats. No ifs, no buts, no speculation. Babe Ruth is a better homerun hitter because he hit a homerun more often than Bonds did. We could speculate on pitchers all day and believe me I have theoretical arguments up the wazoo, but you like stats and facts and the fact is that Ruth is a better HR hitter than Bonds, because when Bonds made it to Ruth at bat number he had 150 less homeruns than Ruth. So if you bet on Bonds in a game to hit a homerun and I bet on Ruth, at the end of each career I'd have more money because Ruth hit more homeruns and more often.
